Metadata: 2004, Anatec, London Array, Maritime Traffic Survey
Abstract:
This project examines the surveys of navigation around the London Array potential site during a 2 week period from 15th Sept 2004 to 28th Sept 2004. The primary objective of the surveys was to identify the real-time routeing of vessels and the level of vessel activity at the proposed wind farm site. The survey concluded that there was limited shipping activity within the site of the proposed offshore wind farm although there was a small amount of fishing within the site. The time of year and weather are likely to have influenced shipping activity. It should also be noted that from the onshore survey position the distance of the radar from the proposed wind farm site means that radar tracking and visual observations of small vessels was limited.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18245 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2004, Anatec, London Array, Maritime Traffic Survey |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 0640a013-e970-42b8-a314-1b6861654795 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-983 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004-09-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004-09-28 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Surveys for Shell WindEnergy Ltd. This was achieved by recording in real-time the positions of vessels within range of the radar, supplemented by observation of vessels within visual range to obtain information on type and size. At the same time as recording radar data, data was also collated using an Automatic Identification System (AIS) which recorded the positions of ships fitted with AIS and the associated information on ship types, size, etc. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | London Array Origin: Anatec UK Limited |
