Identification

Title
Pilot Boarding Areas
Abstract

Data on shipping-related areas were derived from United Kingdom Hydrographic Office Electronic Navigational Charts and OceanWise data, and include harbour areas; fairways; berths and anchorages; pilotage areas; dredged areas; and traffic separation zones and lanes. Additional anchorages and pilotage areas were also identified by the Welsh Government based on local knowledge and discussion with industry. Data on the location and type of port was derived from www.ports.org.uk.
