these boundaries are not 12NM offsets of the actual coastline, but of the base 
line, a legally defined simplification / theoretical and more inclusive 
coastline. Also, 12NM (nautical miles, not nanometers ;-) ) is only the typical 
claim, some countries claim more (but generally these claims have to be 
acknowledged by other countries to become meaningful). 

To add them into osm you can either look for supposedly reasonable data to 
import or research the base line definition and claim of the country in 
question.
