NEW Fishing Plotter Supported |
- OLEX - |
Please note that the latest issue of FSI data (v25 - January 2013), is now available for the Olex Fishing Plotter System. The system has been increasing in popularity and we feel that by supporting the Olex system, along with all the other fishing plotters, this will allow fishermen to install the FSI data on their preferred system.
The plotter data will be included on the latest CD and may also be downloaded here.
FishSAFE Unit in Demand |
Since its launch there has been strong demand for the new FishSAFE Unit.
250 units have been sold at the price of £529 each plus VAT.
This price has been made possible by a grant from The European Fisheries Fund and the Scottish Ministers and by services provided without charge by FLTC Services Limited a not for profit company. FLTCS is supported by The Scottish Fishermen's Federation,The National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations and Oil and Gas UK. The company is funded by OGUK and by some of their member companies.

The heavily subsidised price applies to the first production run of the units only. Once the first units have been sold any further units ordered will not benefit from the grant awarded and are likely to cost considerably more than £529. Click here for further information about the unit.

Environment |

On the 1st April 2013, Schlumberger, on behalf of the FishSAFE Information Project, contacted all UKCS offshore oil & gas operators to request updated positions and information for their surface and subsea structures. This data is used to maintain the FishSAFE Information Project database (formerly KIS-UKCS) of oil & gas structures in UK waters. The FishSAFE Information Project data is compiled through cooperation between the fishing and oil and gas industries and is supplied to fishermen in their native fishing plotter formats to improve fishing safety and help protect the environment. Updates are provided on a 6 monthly basis. Following the submission of up-to-date information to Schlumberger, the data will then be formatted by the Kingfisher division of Seafish, for easy input into the wide variety of fishing plotter systems. This information will be distributed to fishermen throughout much of Europe and will be available to download from www.fishsafe.eu in July 2013. If you do not currently receive this important information and would like to be included in the distribution list, please contact Kingfisher using the details below.

Important Information |
The FishSAFE Unit |
|
Advice to owners of FishSAFE Units: In 2011 a small number of FishSAFE units suffered damage as a result of over heating in an internal circuit. A modified circuit has been produced to remedy the cause of the damage. The majority of FishSAFE units which have been supplied have been modified without charge. FLTCS recommend that any owner who has not had his unit modified should do so without delay. Details of the arrangements for modification can be obtained by clicking here. |
