Fully centralised UK marine licence system launched
Fivium have implemented a centralised IT system that will support the UK marine licensing processes. The new system will enable far greater transparency for users and the public.
Fivium and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) have successfully delivered a fully centralised system to handle the processing of new marine licences. The complete end-to-end solution has replaced the multiple licenses, processes and databases which were used to regulate a number of specific activities in the marine area.
"The new system is a major improvement. The complexity and duplication which has grown over the years has been completely removed, significantly reducing the numerous processes and bodies an applicant has to deal with."
Anthony Ashton, Director at Fivium
The new licensing system will accelerate the approval process for marine projects such as offshore wind farms, wave and tidal devices, construction (including renewables and removals) and dredging. The system will also enables users to apply for marine wildlife licences in order to mitigate circumstances where projects impact on local protected wildlife.
