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.

Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, e.g. EUROSTAT quarterly data on passengers(mar_pa_qm), vessels (mar_tf_qm), and goods (mar_go_qm per country), while the harmonization is carried out by Eurofish and Cogea. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Generally speaking data are to be considered very reliable, because they come from national sources officially in charge for their collection. The harmonisation process consisted of identifying a set of attributes common to all the different datasets, thus creating a single data model. The quarterly data on main ports traffic have been harmonized, aggregated on annual basis and related to the GISCO Ports dataset, using a one-to-many relationship class. The ports not listed in the GISCO dataset have been georeferencend using other sources, such as UN/LOCODE, Marine Traffic, Vessel Tracker, Lloyd's register and ports' authorities.
