Under these conditions natural noise and the noise from moving vessels affect each other, as
well as interference from industrial infrastructure located close to the coast. Both natural
noise and noise caused by human activity affect the detection and identification of noise
sources in these conditions. Experiments have been performed by the mobile measuring
module in the Gulf of Gdansk. This showed that it can extract spectrum components, based on
the results of underwater noise. These components allow the detection of moving objects. The
collected database of measurements enabled the comparison of one-third-octave spectra of
three different ships. The components specific to the type of vessel could extracted as a result
of comparison. Consequently one of the three tested vessels could be identified.
