I was blockaded by force of 2 Japanese protected cruisers. Could be someone able to find reason why it is possible? 1 CA and 1 CL active duty, 3 DD and 4 MS on CP. See map.

Some sort of rounding error or integer math error in the calculation would be my guess. a. The CP DDs don't count. So you have 8 pts (CA + CL) - but Russia gets a penalty for being Russia (90% of actual value I think). b. Japan has 6 pts (2 CL) - But Japan gets a 10% bonus being Japan similar to the UK's 20% bonus.
If the math worked as predicted you would have 8 - (.9 * 8) = 7.28 and Japan have 6 + (.1 * 6) = 6.60. And if it rounded the modifier before the calculation it would still be 7 to 7.

Also, intel reports, including the summary of forces in a sea zone, are not completely accurate - there is some fuzziness to the numbers and types of ships present, and I believe that the numbers and types reported more nearly reflect the forces present on the previous turn than the current turn anyways.

Russia's blockade modifier is actually the worst in the game at 8 compared to the average value of 10 and Japan's 11 but otherwise I think oaktree is spot on and aeson is right as well, that you can't be certain that that is actually all Japan has there.

Thanks for the information. I think that it is sum of both, worse Russian blockade parameter and other ships in Northern Europe which are not reported.

I did not know some countries get more blockade points from their ships. No wonder its so hard to get out of a GB blockade!
Are your ships in the area active? I think ships on foreign stations and raiders don't count towards blockade value?

I think ships on foreign stations and raiders don't count towards blockade value? The modifier affects blockades done to them, not by them. So GB or Russia can blockade another country with the same number of ships, but it takes more to blockade GB than Russia.
