335. The Tribunal is satisfied that such an adjustment, commencing at the
starting point X identified in paragraph 331, remedies the cut-off effect on the
southward projection of the coast of Bangladesh with respect to both the
exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, and that it does so in a
consistent manner that allows the coasts of both Parties to produce their
effects in a reasonable and balanced way.
336. The Tribunal notes that as the adjusted line moves seaward of the
broad curvature formed by the relevant coasts of the Parties, the balanced
101
effects it produces in relation to those coasts are confirmed by the fact that it
intersects the 200 nm limit of the exclusive economic zone of Myanmar at a
point that is nearly equidistant from Cape Negrais on Myanmar’s coast and
the terminus of Bangladesh’s land boundary with India.
