    Brief

    This opportunity is for the procurement of Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel tracking data for a one-year period. The data must cover the geographic area between 29°N-90°N latitude and 42°W-13°E longitude, encompassing UK waters and surrounding regions. The dataset will be used by Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) to produce validated underwater noise pollution maps for UK waters. These maps are critical for meeting Defra's UK Marine Strategy requirements and OSPAR (Oslo and Paris Convention) international reporting obligations. Suppliers should note that continued annual access to this data is essential for maintaining scientific consistency in monitoring, enabling long-term trend analysis of maritime noise impacts, and fulfilling statutory reporting commitments. The data must be of sufficient quality and coverage to support regulatory compliance and scientific validation standards.
