3 Addressing Major Risks Offshore value of the Kingfisher Bulletin is wide-ranging. Designed originally to improve safety for fishermen and other marine users, it also benefits the offshore industries themselves. Improving fishing safety Fishing is the most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK, with 83 lives and 166 vessels lost over the past decade. Offshore man made structures present a major risk, and have contributed to accidents and loss of life in the past. By giving accurate, easy-to-use, free to access information about offshore activities, hazards and structures, operators and owners can reduce risk and save lives. This information also helps fishing vessels avoid situations or locations where they risk damage to fishing gear or loss of fishing time.
