Clinton Marine Survey has completed a geophysical survey for an offshore wind farm project planned off the coast of Sweden on behalf of OX2.
The vessel Northern Storm has for five weeks carried out surveys of the Galatea-Galene project, planned to be built in the Kattegat about 25 km offshore from the cities of Varberg and Falkenberg.
A geophysical survey enables the project to, among other things, map bathymetry and geological conditions as well as marine archaeology and marine biology.
This information will be used in the further development of the project and permit applications.
The survey of about 370 sq km included both the wind farm area and the planned cable corridors to shore.
The survey was completed using the fuel-efficient vessel Northern.
For the shallow and coastal measurements, a smaller boat, Northern Star, has also been used.
“We are pleased to have completed this exciting and successful sea measurement together with OX2 and to be involved in driving renewable energy forward.
“Clinton’s unique set of how we conduct sea measurements has made it possible to save large amounts of CO2, something we are very proud of,” said Philip Ljungström, Head of Project Department at Clinton Marine Survey.
