For the calculation of the data "AIS Vessel Traffic Density", the data of the Universal Shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS) were evaluated with regard to various parameters and ship types under stochastic aspects. The data are requested once a year for the past year from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). Among others, the information is collected and stored for the purpose of securing maritime traffic and is used for the manufacture of products produced for navigation by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH). The data "AIS Vessel Density" represent the mean spatio-temporal density distribution of the ships. This is the average number of ships that have passed through a defined area (grid cell) in a certain period of time. The counting distinguishes between five types of vessels: fishing vessels, cargo vessels, tankers, passenger vessels and all vessels.

The data cover the water pollution detected on German territory and in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The data include the position, type and sources of water pollution. The data are held for the legal prosecution and punishment of violations of the provisions of the MARPOL Convention 1973/78 in connection with the MARPOL-Owi-Vo, the Helsinki Convention in connection with the 1st and 2nd Baltic Sea Protection Amendment Ordinance and for the processing of individual technical and legal questions of principle regarding the above-mentioned legal provisions and administrative offence law (OWIG i. V. m. StPO and StGB), European law and international law.
