That's a pretty healthy competetive advantage for us if it can be further levereaged.

Which makes sense, because when travelling from an American port (Seattle) to an other American port (Anchorage), why would you want to go though another country's territory (the Inside Passage is between the Canadian Mainland and Vancouver Island).
It just means they need to stay in international waters to travel between Alaska and Washington (but they can turn on the slot machines). It also makes for a longer boring trip until they get to 54-40 and can get close to the Alaska coastline again.
