It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several several EU and non-EU sources. It is updated every year, and is available for viewing and download on the EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains lines representing the actual routes of offshore pipelines (where available) in the following countries: Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain (Andalucía), Sweden and United Kingdom. Each line has the following harmonized attributes (where available): code, name, status (abandoned, active, application submitted, not in use, planned, pre-commissioning, proposed, under construction), medium (air, chemical glycol, chemical methanol, chemical n/a, condensate, control, cooling water, gas, geothermal heating, hydraulic, mixed hydrocarbons, oil, other fluid, sewage, water), operator, size (inches), length (metres), year, from and to locality or facility, country code, country name and notes. Compared with the previous version, this new version includes updated data from German BSH-CONTIS source.

The portal makes available information such as geographical position, spatial extent of a series of activities related to the sea, their temporal variation, time when data was provided, and attributes to indicate the intensity of each activity. The data are aggregated and presented so as to preserve personal privacy and commercially-sensitive information. The data also include a time interval so that historic as well as current activities can be included. https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/aca3dd01-77ac-47fe-8291-6ca916daaa6d/attachments/EMODnet_HA_Pipelines_20230705.zip WWW:DOWNLOAD EMODnet_HA_Pipelines_20230705.zip ZIP (File Geodatabase / Shapefile) https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/wms?

Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by 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. When a pipeline has multiple sources (e.g the pipeline crosses more countries seas), it may appear as two or more different lines which do not perfectly overlap and have different attributes. This is because it is not possible to harmonize the geometric component of the data, as each source reports a slightly different pipeline's path and there is no way to know which one is more accurate.
