Ocean Winds has launched the next stage of research for its BC-Wind offshore wind farm off Poland with a seabed survey along the planned export cable route.
The specialist vessel Ocean Marlin is operating from the port of Gdansk to detect unexploded ordnance and other wartime remnants that could be present on the seabed.
Sulmara is carrying out the work using advanced systems including Scan Fish, sonar and magnetometer to conduct a detailed inspection of the seabed.
According to Ocean Winds, the survey will ensure full safety during the future installation of transmission cables linking the wind farm to the mainland.
The company said the results will help identify any potential obstacles or ordnance along the route, ensuring a smooth and safe course for the project.
