Improved NCS map
21/02/2025 The Norwegian Offshore Directorate’s FactMaps have been upgraded, making it easier to use the service.
The FactMaps have been migrated to a newer, more flexible technology. This provides some new functionality, such as the inclusion of third-party data from other players (UKCS/ENS). Predefined filters also make it easier to view data.
The old FactMaps will be available until May.
