I did not see blockades mentioned anywhere in the Convention. What I did see mentioned is the right of free passage through the EEZ.

Leaving the Convention aside (and not directed at any particular contributor to this thread) - this topic reminds me of another one from three years ago and it is interesting (and has a nostalgic value) to compare views brought forward in this thread
your focussing on the wrong one:
Article58

3. In exercising their rights and performing their duties under this Convention in the exclusive economic zone, States shall have due regard to the rights and duties of the coastal State and shall comply with the laws and regulations adopted by the coastal State in accordance with the provisions of this Convention and other rules of international law in so far as they are not incompatible with this Part.
The San Remo declaration i already mentioned above, does make mention of blockade-running.
