Spanish term or phrase: demanda marítima boliviana
Buenos días a todos:

Espero que se encuentren bien. Tengo problemas para traducir "demanda marítima boliviana" en el siguiente contexto:

"El encuentro de la Presidenta Michelle Bachelet con el líder cubano Fidel Castro no pasó desapercibido en el extranjero, especialmente tras los dichos del ex Mandatario, quien se manifestó a favor de la demanda marítima boliviana, tras reunirse con la gobernante chilena en La Habana."

Se me ocurren las siguientes traducciones:
Bolivia's maritime claim
Bolivia's sea access claim

Muchas gracias por su ayuda. Estoy traduciendo este artículo al inglés para expandir mi vocabulario y agradezco su tiempo.
