The Met Office's new look maritime safety information will be launched
on our web site on 4 September. The pages are an improvement to the
range of information available and will be presented via more intuitive
map-based navigation. The maritime safety information is published
via our web site on behalf of the Maritime
& Coastguard Agency.
The routine issue of Shipping and Inshore Waters Forecasts will be
available via 'clickable' maps. This information will be further enhanced
by the real-time integration of sea-area gale warnings, and strong
coastal wind warnings — as and when they are issued. The addition
of the High Seas Forecasts and integrated Storm Warning Service will
further enhance the site.
Those accessing the new pages on slower connections at sea will be
able to print a plain text version of the information. The changes
are the first phase in a number of improvements being made to the
web site over the coming months.
This example shows the Inshore waters
forecast/strong wind warnings page.
