The product developed at VLIZ consisted of two GIS layers providing both the maritime boundaries (lines) and the EEZs (polygons). The layers were regularly updated with 8 consecutive versions published between 2006 and 2014. Version 9 was launched by the VLIZ-hosted portal Marineregions.org in October 2016 and implied major new developments. Straight and archipelagic baselines were included, together with remaining areas defined by UNCLOS: internal and archipelagic waters, territorial seas and contiguous zones.
