Departure and arrival points of ships
The Ports location is used by the shipping simulation to calculate the shipping intensity in the sea region.
Ports put the following pressures on the ecosystem:

EMODnet Human Activities, Main Ports, Goods-Passengers-Vessels Traffic
The dataset on maritime transport of goods, passengers and vessels in the European main ports was created in 2014 by Eurofish and Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset is the result of the harmonization and aggregation on annual basis of the quarterly Eurostat Maritime transport data, provided by port in the EU Member States, Montenegro, Norway, Turkey and the UK. Eurostat data have been related to the 'Ports 2013' EUROSTAT GISCO's points georeferenced dataset, when available, or to the ports locations coming from other sources, such as UN/LOCODE, Lloyd’s List, Marine Traffic, VESSEL TRACKER and ports' authorities. Goods traffic data are reported in thousands of tonnes by year, type of cargo and direction. Passengers traffic data are reported in thousands passengers (excluding cruise passengers) by direction and traffic type. Vessels traffic data are reported in unit and gross tonnage (thousands) of vessels by vessel size class and vessel type. Where available, the latest update includes data from the 1997 up to the 2024.

Reprojected the data layer to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035). Kept the locations that would better model the shipping activities in the North Sea.

Reduced attributes table to minimum needed.
The Ports layer in the Western Baltic Sea Edition remains consistent with that featured in the Baltic Sea edition.
There are no ports types on the Clyde Marine Region Edition.

This dataset is a combination of several sources, namely Loyds (https://directories.lloydslist.com/) and Global Fishing Watch (https://github.com/GlobalFishingWatch/anchorages_pipeline/blob/master/pipe_anchorages/data/port_lists/WPI_ports.csv), provided by partners.
Not available. Data retrieved during 2022-09.
The two datasets were merged, atributes were consolidated and duplicates removed (same location and same name). The geodata layer was reprojected to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035).
