Testimonials

Having just used this myself to make a hazard notification, I can confirm that the system is both easy and quick to use. It gets information to the users so quickly and is a significant step forward to ensuring fishermen are promptly notified of hazards, thus reducing risk and improving safety

When you’re at sea you need the latest information to show you where the hazards are and what activities are taking place. The Kingfisher Bulletin makes it easy to set up a personalised hazard alert for the area of sea you’re interested in. It gives you real time latest notices, so you don’t end up putting yourself, or your vessel in danger.

Orsted UK provides information to mariners regarding hazards or ongoing works in relation to our projects via the simple form on the Kingfisher Bulletin app. The app has a very user friendly interface and interactive map and is an easy and free way to make sure you’re aware of any marine hazards in the area and to stay safe at sea.

The new system provides a much easier process for submitting notifications and now means we can see these go live in a matter of minutes. This, alongside the automated reminders, will allow us to have greater control over any notifications and to keep information on our activities and any hazards to fishing up to date in a much more efficient manner.

For many years the Kingfisher Bulletin has provided critical safety information to the fishing industry. This has given the catching sector vital insight and knowledge of the hazards that lurk below the surface. As other users of the sea and the seabed increase their activities, such as laying cables or harvesting the natural resources, access to this information is even more important. Many hazards are unseen but present a real threat to the fishing industry so having knowledge of what and where they are is key.  

“I really like the hazard alerts function in the new online system. This will give fishermen more up to date information at their fingertips on areas chosen by them. It is very encouraging to see the Kingfisher Bulletins using advancements in technology to aid fishermen’s safety. These new platforms will give information out faster to the people who need it the most. In an ever changing, demanding world this can only be a good thing.
