GISCO.PORT_PT_2013

This dataset should be bibliographically referred to as the “GISCO Ports 2013 dataset”. It contains 1 feature class with the location of 2440 pan-European ports, plus one attribute table and 3 domain tables. The ports are identified following the UN Locode list. The dataset is based on the list “Ports Estat 2010” from Eurostat.All ports are represented by a point location in PORT_PT_2013. Point coordinates and Locodes are derived from several input sources, including ports lists from EMSA, Lloyds, Norie’s Seaports of the World, the GISCO Ports 2010 dataset and the UN/LOCODE 2007 list. Attributes in PORT_AT_2013 include the port name, Locode Status Indicator, and reliability flags for the positional and Locode accuracy.Dataset coverage is global.The dataset has been created for cartographic purposes and for appropriate analysis. Port statistics can be geo-referenced to this high quality pan-European dataset, especially when based on UN Locode.

Statement

Port names and Locodes were mainly taken from the Eurostat list "Ports Estat 2010", or the UN/LOCODE 2007 list. This dataset is an update of the 2009 dataset with additional ports added and some removed. No polygon data hsa been supllied with this version

Point location sources were, in decreasing order of preference:

1. European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) list of ports by calls

2. Lloyds MIU list of European ports

3. GISCO Ports 2009 dataset (PORT_2009). This was derived from some of the same sources used for this dataset, plus Norie’s Seaports of the World list (in Norie’s Nautical Tables, Imray, 2007)

4. UN/LOCODE 2007 list (UNECE, 2007)

5. List of additions and removals supplied by Unit B4 in Eurostat

Many of the processing steps included some manual matching, editing or checking steps to improve data quality. Reference sources used included port organisation websites, online port lists, and aerial imagery. The busiest 60 ports according to the "EU Energy and Transport in Figures: Statistical Pocketbook 2009" were visually checked against input and reference sources. Effort was also focussed on Eurostat statistical ports. All matching steps included manual checks of join tables or the spatial data to help overcome naming or conceptual differences between sources. Some expected errors were manually fixed.

LOCD_STTS_CODE port attributes derived from UN/LOCODE 2007, and LOCD_STTS_DOM table copied from the StatusIndicator table of the UN database. PORT_COOR_RELI_CODE positional reliability attributes were calculated for port points based on the process for reaching the final point coordinate. PORT_LOCD_RELI_CODE attributes were derived depending on the port’s proximity to settlement features that verify the port name (and hence Locode). TEN_CODE and PROC_TEN_CODE attributes provided by GISCO. STAT_PORT_CODE and REMK are Eurostat attributes from the "Ports Estat 2010" list.
