This system represents an Online GIS System to display maritime data for the entire UKCS.

The data can be accessed once users have registered on the site (which is free and unrestricted) and logged in.

The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (BERR) commissioned Anatec UK Ltd (Anatec) to develop this site with the aim of creating and open area online that is available to both commercial users and the general public, thereby promoting the distribution and sharing of information.

Overall it is envisaged that the website will provide an efficient means for interested parties to obtain an understanding of the maritime environment around the UK and that the site will be a useful platform for improving the consultation process and decision making within the UK.

This BERR development has been a collaborative effort and has benefited from input from:

• Maritime and Coastguard Agency
• Department for Transport
• Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs
• The Crown Estate
• Royal Yachting Association
• Ministry of Defence
• British Marine Aggregate Producers Association
• Anatec UK Ltd
