KIS-UKCS

FLTC Services Limited now promote and part fund the KIS-UKCS project which provides fishermen with positional information about offshore surface and sub-sea structures and infrastructure in connection with oil and gas activities in U.K. waters.

Kingfisher Information Services is a sub division of Sea Fish Marine Services and has worked on several projects over the years to raise awareness and understanding between the oil and gas and fishing industries. Through the Kingfisher Information Service UK Continental Shelf project, and in close co-operation with Oil and Gas UK (formally UKOOA), Kingfisher has promoted the awareness of surface and subsea obstructions.

The main objective of such projects is to disseminate, in both digital (electronic) and paper (chart) formats, accurate positional data on all surface and sea-bed oil & gas installations (eg. platforms, pipelines, wellheads, etc) throughout the UK Continental Shelf. The data is available FREE to all fishing vessels working in the area and is compatible with the most popular fishing plotters including Sodena, Trax, SIS, Microplot, Winfish, Litton Fishmaster, Chartworx/Quodfish, Maxsea, Penta and Transas Navfish 3000 systems.
