A quick definition of right of innocent passage:

The right of innocent passage is a rule in international law that allows foreign ships to travel through another country's territorial waters without paying a toll. This means that ships can pass through these waters as long as they do not cause any harm or disturbance to the country. The right of innocent passage is guaranteed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and it is important for maintaining peaceful relations between countries.

A more thorough explanation:

The right of innocent passage is a term used in international law to describe the right of a foreign ship to pass through a country's territorial waters without paying a toll. This right is guaranteed in Article 17 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Passage is considered innocent as long as it does not harm the peace, good order, and security of the coastal country. This means that the ship must respect local regulations on navigation, pilotage, and other rules. If the ship does anything that could disturb the tranquility of the coastal state, it would not be considered innocent passage.

For example, if a ship from Japan wants to travel to the United States and needs to pass through the territorial waters of Canada, it has the right of innocent passage. However, if the ship were to engage in activities such as fishing or spying, it would no longer be considered innocent passage.

Another example is if a ship from China wants to travel to Russia and needs to pass through the territorial waters of Japan. As long as the ship follows all the rules and regulations set by Japan, it has the right of innocent passage.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
