High-resolution Logbook Data from 45 Commercial Fishing Vessels in 2019

High-resolution logbook data contains direct observations from 45 commercial fishing vessels collected in 2019. The dataset includes effort, fuel consumption, and annual landings by species, which were used to compute Fuel Use Intensity (FUI) and Carbon Footprint (CF) per vessel. It was created by Antonello Sala and combined with on-site energy audits to model daily fuel consumption based on vessel length.

Use Cases

• Modeling fuel consumption based on vessel length overall (LOA) using the described relationship.
• Calculating Fuel Use Intensity (FUI) and Carbon Footprint (CF) for fishing vessels based on effort and landings data.
• Estimating daily fuel consumption for national fleet segments by scaling up the theoretical LOA-based model.
• Analyzing fishing effort and landings by species from direct observations recorded in electronic logbooks.

Strengths

• Contains data from 45 commercial fishing vessels, including 19 OTB, 8 TBB, and 18 PTM types.
• Combines high-resolution logbook data with on-site energy audits for validation.
• Includes key variables for environmental impact assessment: effort, fuel consumption, and landings by species.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
