Statement

This dataset contains information on the number of ships equipped with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) crossing specific passage lines in the Baltic Sea from 2006 to 2020. For visualisation in the map service, total amount of passage line crossings in year 2020 is used.


The HELCOM AIS data was used to produce these figures. Ships can cross a line several time during a year. The script (R language) is available at https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/AIS_passage_lines.
