As of 1st December 2006, UK shipping forecasts have ceased to be held by the NOAA server. Please click below and send in an error report to the NOAA to show your dis-satisfaction.

This file has been the lifeline for mobile phone users as a very small file that has the weather forecast for all sea areas in the UK. So yes, the Met office website can be used but at the expense of data transfer over a mobile network.
