The outer boundary of the continental shelf extends from the point in the Idefjord, where the cadastral area no longer reaches the agreed delimitation with Norway, to a point on the boundary line with Finland with latitude 65° 35′ N. Around the island of Brand in the Åland Sea, the border follows the baselines. The inner boundary of the continental shelf is defined by the (sea) outermost cadastral boundaries. These limits are rarely set and are therefore not reported on the basis of the new law. There are also areas in some of the large lakes that are not divided into real estate.
The following attributes are located in the point shape file:
Serial number — Sequencing number of continental shelf points (CP).
Order No_KP — Sequencing number of significant points on the outer boundary line of the continental shelf.
Latitude & Longitude — All points along the boundary are described by geographical coordinates in latitude and longitude expressed in the reference system SWEREF 99 partly in degrees and decimal minutes as stated in the law and partly in decimal degrees.
Point type — The following point types exist:
• cut-off point agreed with another State (CP), with the exception of points
on the island of Market, for which there is no agreement with another State,
