Dear Oude,
There is no maritime area within the Mediterranean that
extends beyond 200 nautical miles, even if you ignore the Gulf of Sirte
closing line, which as a matter of interest is now part of the Libyan
straight baseline system.
Kindest Regards

Subject: [INT-BOUNDARIES] Area beyond 200 nautical miles in the
Mediterranean Sea
Dear colleagues,
Checking some information on the maritime zones in the Mediterranean
Sea, I had the impression that there is a limited area beyond 200
nautical miles from the baselines of all coastal States (at least if the
closing line of the Gulf of Sirte is disregarded). Is there anyone who
has further information on this matter?
Best regards,
