- Abstract
- This dataset contains the average weekly shipping density for the whole of the UK at a 2km grid resolution. For 2019, Automatic Identification System (AIS) datasets were sampled from the first fourteen days of each month, commencing with January, at monthly intervals. The total value for all 24 weeks was divided by 24 to determine the weekly average, therefore decimal values may occur for certain cells. The weekly average was also multiplied by 52 to provide the estimated annual average. Ship type groups (STG):0 - Unknown Vessels1 - Non-Port service craft2 - Port service craft3 - Vessels engaged in dredging or underwater operations4 - High Speed Craft5 - Military or Law enforcement6 - Passenger7 - Cargo8 - Tankers9 - Fishing vessels10 - Recreational vessels AIS density grid for 2019 processed by ABPmer on behalf of the MMO using AIS data supplied by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), following a methodology previously developed by ABPmer under MMO project number 1066, entitled ‘Mapping UK Shipping Density and Routes from AIS – Open Source Data and Methods’.
