HELCOM Metadata catalogue
Operational oil spills from ships 2018
This core indicator evaluates the status of the Baltic Sea based on the number- and the size of illegal oil spills detected in annual aerial surveillance. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is "Achieve", "Fail" or "Not assessed". Good status is achieved when the amount of oil spills are below the threshold value.
This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins).
Attribute information:
"HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit
"level_2" = name of he HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit (subbasin)
"Area (km2)" = Area of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit
"AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator
"STATUS" = Status of the indicator (“Target achieved”, “Target exceeded” or “Not assessed”)

- Statement
-
The indicator threshold value is based on estimated volumes of oil introduced to the Baltic Sea as illegal discharges of oil.
Aerial surveys of oil spills have been carried out by Contracting Parties of HELCOM for several years with standardized methods, annually covering nearly the entire Baltic Sea. The confidence of the indicator evaluation is therefore considered to be high.
For the methodology of how the indicator is calculated, please refer to the latest version of the core indicator report.
