News That Saves Lives

The Bulletin provides the fishing and marine industries with alerts of offshore hazards, activity notices and news, keeping you up-to-date with things happening in the waters around the UK and Northern Europe. Provided for you, in one place via a website, app and an alerts service.

 

Offshore operators supply information directly to Kingfisher along with regulators and government departments – as a licence condition – ensuring the best and most accurate information is received without delay.

Kingfisher then simplify and convert the information, guaranteeing the Bulletin content is easy to understand and is delivered in the most usable format for fishermen. Fishermen can use the innovative elements of the Bulletin – website, app or alerts – to scan the interactive map for fishing hazards, create personalised alerts, share information with fellow fishermen or export information to print or PDF.
