In accordance with statistics gained through the British Allied and German axis records and research an average of 10% of all bombs dropped during the war malfunctioned and lay buried and unexploded in the ground or seabed. Wartime minesweeping procedure was to cut the mooring wire and puncture shells of buoyant mines to cause them to sink. Some still remain undisturbed on the seabed today.

FIL hold charts of most of the UK sea dumping grounds used since 1850 and of the World's Allied wartime sea-mined areas (including in some fields the number of mines laid and the method of lay, surface ship, submarine or aircraft dropped).

The company offer equipment contamination control and video interpretation services, as well as a full range of Underwater Services including bomb & mine disposal, repair and maintenance.
