      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>This dataset contains the ship accidents in the Baltic Sea during the period 1989 to end of 2023. It is constructed from the annual data collected by HELCOM Contracting Parties on ship accidents in the Baltic Sea and starting from 2019 from EMSA EMCIP Database extraction (for those Contracting Parties that are member of the EU). 

The accident data has been compiled by the HELCOM Secretariat and EMSA. According to the decision of the HELCOM SEA 2/2001 shipping accident data compilation will include only so-called conventional ships according to the Regulation 5, Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 - any oil tanker of 150 GT and above and any other ships of 400 GT and above which are engaged in voyages to ports or offshore terminals under the jurisdiction of other Parties to the Convention. According to the agreed procedure all accidents (including but not limited to grounding, collision with other vessel or contact with fixed structures (offshore installations, wrecks, etc.), disabled vessel (e.g. machinery and/or structure failure), fire, explosions, etc.), which took place in territorial seas or EEZ of the Contracting Party irrespectively if there was pollution or not, are reported.

The dataset contains the following information:


Unique_ID = An unique identifier consisting of 4 digit running number and the year of the accident
Country 
Year
Date = Date (dd/mm/yyyy)
Time = Time of the accident (hh:mm)
Location = Location of the accident (open sea / port / port approach, from 2019 -&gt; open sea / port)
Acc_Type = Type of accident
Colli_Type = Type of collision / contact (with vessel / object)
Acc_Detail = More information on the accident
CauseDetai = Details on the accident cause
Assistance = Assistance after the accident
Offence = Offence against Rule
Damage = Damage to the ship
HumanEleme = Occurrence / Reason of human error
IceCondit = Ice conditions
CrewIceTra = Crew trained for ice conditions
Pollution = Pollution (Yes/No)
Pollu_m3 = Pollution in m3
Pollu_t = Pollution in tonnes
Pollu_Type = Type of pollution
RespAction = Response actions after the accident
Cargo_Type = Type of cargo
Ship1_Name = Ship 1 identification (Not published after 2018)
Sh1_Categ = Ship 1 type (according to AIS category)
Sh1_Type = Ship 1 more detail ship type category
Sh1_Hull = Ship 1 hull construction
Sh1Size_gt = Ship 1 GT
Sh1Sizedwt = Ship 1 DWT
Sh1Draug_m = Ship 1 draught in meters / category
Cause_Sh1 = Cause of accidents from ship 1
Pilot_Sh1 = Presence of pilot on ship 1
Ship2_Name = Ship 2 identification (Not published after 2018)
Sh2_Categ = Ship 2 type (according to AIS category)
Sh2_Type = Ship 2 more detail ship type category
Sh2_Hull = Ship 2 hull construction
Sh2Size_gt = Ship 2 GT
Sh2Sizedwt = Ship 2 DWT
Sh2Draug_m = Ship 2 draught in meters / category
Cause_Sh2 = Cause of accidents from ship 2
Pilot_Sh2 = Presence of pilot on ship 2
Add_Info = Additional information
Latitude = Latitude (decimal degrees)
Longitude = Longitude (decimal degrees)

            <gco:CharacterString>The accident data has been compiled by the HELCOM Secretariat by compiling reported data to HELCOM and EMSA. 

According to the agreed procedure all accidents (including but not limited to grounding, collision with other vessel or contact with fixed structures (offshore installations, wrecks, etc.), disabled vessel (e.g. machinery and/or structure failure), fire, explosions, etc.), which took place in territorial seas or EEZ of the Contracting Party and involved tankers over 150 GT and/or other ships over 400 GT irrespectively if there was pollution or not are reported. This dataset is updated annually and covers accidents from 1989 to 2020. Latest update was done in 2022 for the annual report on shipping accidents in the Baltic sea during 2020.</gco:CharacterString>
