SSE Renewables Offshore Wind Surveys

In May, two USVs remotely controlled from shore travelled up to 40km offshore into the North Sea to undertake survey work for Berwick Bank and Marr Bank Offshore Wind Developments, owned by SSE Renewables. The USVs performed multiple nearshore and offshore cable route surveys in water depths ranging from 0m to 60m.

X-03, X-04, X-05 and X-11 are all engaged on the project performing high resolution seabed surveys covering over 750km2 in water depths ranging from 0m to 70m.
