The Maritime Data website is an Online GIS System which displays and allows download of maritime data for the entire UKCS.

The data can be accessed by registering and logging into the site (which is free and unrestricted).

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) commissioned Anatec Ltd (Anatec) to develop this site with the aim of creating an open area online that is available to both commercial users and the general public, thereby promoting the distribution and sharing of information.

The site is intended to provide a portal for interested parties to obtain an understanding of the maritime environment around the UK and enhance the consultation process and decision making within the UK.

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

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