Shetland Coastguard to join National Network

Shetland Coastguard Operations Centre (CGOC) is set to join the new national Coastguard network on Monday, August 10, 2015.

Work has been carried out at the UK Government-funded search and rescue coordination centre to upgrade the technology and introduce new systems. This means Shetland CGOC will be connected to the National Maritime Operations Centre (NMOC) in Hampshire and other Coastguard stations around the country, which will be able to offer mutual support during busy periods.
