Emergency procedures

cable or renewable energy structure,
DO NOT endanger your vessel and crew
by attempting to recover your gear.
fishing
To reduce the risks of fishing near offshore structures,
it is essential to be up to date with KIS-ORCA information.
KIS-ORCA information is easy to install on your vessel’s
fishing plotter and ensures skippers are able to make
informed decisions for their safety.

2. Carefully plot your vessel’s position as
accurately as possible.
3. Advise the Coastguard of your situation,
and call the 24 hour Emergency Number
and state that an incident is occurring
concerning a subsea cable or renewable
energy structure.
The closer to the surface a subsea cable is lifted when
fouled by fishing gear, the more danger there is to the
fishing vessel. In the interests of fishing safety and to
prevent damage to subsea structures, fishermen are
advised to exercise caution when fishing in the vicinity
of subsea cables and renewable energy structures.
Loss of gear, fishing time and catch can result if a
trawler snags a subsea structure and there is serious
risk of loss of life.
