Israel claims this document, from operation Cast Lead, legalizes the siege. In fact, Cast Lead had ended a long time ago; Gaza port was blocked since 1967. A legal blockade must specify temporal limitations. These are absent from the open ended language of the document.
Gaza is not under a legal naval blockade with military objectives, but rather under an illegal siege aimed at civilians, and with political goals.
