AIS data on maritime traffic density per types of vessels (Other, Fishing, Service, Dredging or underwater ops, Sailing, Pleasure Craft, High speed craft, Tug and towing, Passenger, Cargo, T anker, Military and Law Enforcement, Unknown and All ship types)

EMODnet Vessel Density Map were created by Cogea in 2019 in the framework of EMODnet Human Activities, an initiative funded by the EU Commission. The maps are based on AIS data purchased by CLS and show shipping density in 1km*1km cells of a grid covering all EU waters (and some neighbouring areas). Density is expressed as hours per square kilometre per month. The following ship types are available:0 Other, 1 Fishing, 2 Service, 3 Dredging or underwater ops, 4 Sailing, 5 Pleasure Craft, 6 High speed craft, 7 Tug and towing, 8 Passenger, 9 Cargo, 10T anker, 11 Military and Law Enforcement, 12 Unknown and All ship types.
