Vessel towing capacity
Dataset contains the vessels in the Baltic Sea area with towing capacity in an emergency situation (over 25 tons of bollard pull). The locations of the ships are approximate, derived from the homeport of the vessel.

ATTRIBUTES: - X : longitude of the location (at homeport, in WGS 84) - Y : latitude of the location (at homeport, in WGS 84) - BOLLARDP : towing capacity of the vessel (tons of bollardpull) - READINES : readiness (hours) - ROUGHSEA : rough sea capabilities - SOURCE : possible source of the information - NOTICE : additional information For more information about HELCOM's response activities, see: http://www.helcom.fi/groups/response/en_GB/main.

Use constraints: Data can be used freely given that the source is cited. 1) The locations of the vessels are based on the homeport announced and are not precise (even more so since the vessels are often out at sea). Also, it should be noted that when viewing at a small scale (zoomed out), the vessel symbols in a certain port will unavoidably cluster and eventually merge.2) Some of the characters in the place - and vessel names do not show correctly on different systems. We have attempted to add instructions concerning these characters in the end of each of the data files. These characters are:: - ä : a with umlauts - ö : o with umlauts - å : a with a circle - ø : o with a slash - ü : u with umlauts.

-
The information about vessels with towing capacity was gathered from the states surrounding Baltic Sea (along with information about other emergency capacities) by HELCOM and delivered to Finnish Environment Center as text files (tables). These were transformed to a shape file, using the homeport mentioned as the original location of each vessel. The dataset was further edited in order to situate the vessels to the sea in front of the ports.
In December 2004, data on Towing Capacity was updated for Estonia and Poland.
HELCOM amended the projection of the dataset from World Mercator to ETRS 1989 LAEA in 2005.
The information contained in the dataset is revised and updated as needed by HELCOM.
In March-April 2008, Estonian, Finnish, Polish, Russian and Swedish details were updated.
