Fishing, tourism (e.g. whale and polar bear watching) and research? I'm guessing.

It’s a simulator, not real. For real ships, look for MarineTraffic density map, example

This is a heatmap showing the density of virtual boat positions (captured every 12 hours in this case) over the past couple years in the SailNavSim sailing navigation simulator [1].
Data was extracted from SailNavSim's SQLite database, and the image was generated using Gnuplot.
