Cables (HOLAS 2)

The dataset was created in order to update the information regarding underwater cables in the Baltic Sea Region for the HELCOM Assessments. Data was collected by the HELCOM Secretariat during 2015 and 2016. The dataset contains information on submarine cables in the Baltic Sea.


The dataset is based on available public sources on cables and due to variety of data sources (national and international), should be taken as general data based on best available public data with variable resolution over the different region in the Baltic. For Danish areas, the data represents constructions on Danish territorial waters, authorized facilities and activities from 2015.


Depending on area, more accurate spatial data might exist, but data is unavailable for public use. National data submissions from Latvia and Russia were not available.


For 2018 version of dataset, cables that have only approximate location were removed from the dataset, as the spatial accuracy of these objects is not sufficient for the scale of the index.

Statement

The dataset was created in order to update the information regarding underwater cables in the Baltic Sea Region for the HELCOM Assessments. Data was collected by the HELCOM Secretariat during 2016. The dataset contains information on submarine cables in the Baltic Sea.


National remarks:

Underwater cables in Denmark were updated based on submissions for the HELCOM Second Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea. The data from Denmark represents constructions on Danish territorial waters, authorized facilities and activities from 2015. Data is specifically compilated for HOLAS II, and should not be reused for other purposes. Contact kdi@kyst.dk for updated Danish data. kdi@kyst.dk Underwater cables in Denmark were updated based on submissions for the HELCOM Second Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea.

Data is specifically compilated for HOLAS II, and should not be reused for other purposes. Contact kdi@kyst.dk for updated Danish data.


Estonian cables were updated based on national submission in the review process and deleting cables from all other data sources in Estonian EEZ.


The dataset was approved by all HELCOM Contracting Parties in the HOLAS II Human activities data review process during first quarter of 2017.


Dataset updated june 2017, regarding Estonian data. For the index calculation in HOLAS2 (2017), a previous version of this dataset was used.


Dataset updated in 2018, by removing objects of which spatial accuracy is not sufficient to be used in the index.
