March 12 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE is seen opening 1 point higher at 7,131 on Tuesday, according to financial bookmakers.

* INTERSERVE: Troubled British outsourcer Interserve IRV.L has been in talks with lenders and its top investor Coltrane Asset Management, seeking to win Coltrane's support for a restructuring plan ahead of a deciding shareholder vote on Friday. LAND COMPANY: British Land Company Plc BLND.L said on Monday John Gildersleeve would retire as chairman at the real estate firm's annual general meeting this year, after six years in the role. BP: Energy group BP BP.L is set to sell a new very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) ahead of a ban on more polluting fuels for the shipping industry coming into force next year, it said on Monday.
