Each country post "lines of demarcation" which defines geographic boundaries of their territory seas. Twelve miles is the customary distance. There are shipping lanes that are managed by host country and established by int'l agreement. St. Lawrence Seaway, English Channel, Malacca Straits, New York approaches, Panama Canal, and Suez Canal are examples of seaways that may extend past a single country's territory sea.

Most international waters extend out about 150 miles from shore. To see a channel marker this far out would be rare, to say the least. A buoy this far out would come under the country it served, and the cost of the buoy and it upkeep payed by that country.
PS Booyes is spelled Buoys

With the exceptions of a local area where nations have agreed to a local solution to split the costs, I believe it's going to be put up by the nation whose influence is most strongly felt there, it being both useful and a projection of national influence. Shipmates, help me out here if I've forgotten something. . .

Probably you are talking about USCG navigation bouys to line ships up to enter the channel. It all depends. There are bouys/markers for nav, weather, fishing zone boundries, marking hazards, salvage, etc. It can be any number of things.
