Why NCI?
The NCI was formed in 1994 by a team of volunteers who realised that there was a vital need to re‑instate the visual watch around our coasts in the interest of the safety of all those at sea, on nearby paths and on cliffs. There have been many cases where rapid and catastrophic failures aboard both small craft and merchant ships, within sight of shore, have gone unreported by radio. The NCI is dedicated to plugging this gap.
A close liaison exists between HM Coastguard and us. We have been inspected by the coastguard and we have what is termed ‘Declared Facility Status’, which means that they treat us as a resource qualified to assist them as required. |
