Procedures for requesting EMSA data from maritime applications

The purpose of this document is to indicate the different procedures which have been established by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to manage external requests for data from the EMSA applications (including Long Range Identification and Tracking [LRIT], SafeSeaNet, CleanSeaNet and Satellite AIS data). These requests are made by European Union (EU) Member State national government authorities and EU institutions and bodies, and by projects or programmes established by these parties and working on issues of public interest.

For each specific data type, a different procedure is applied. The applicable procedures are described in this document, which provides the following information:

• What data are available;
• How to apply;
• Conditions for obtaining access to or receiving the data;
• What happens once a request has been approved.
