The Crown Estate has signed new contracts for surveys to be conducted in the Celtic Sea as part of work towards the development of the new floating wind farms.
The geophysical surveys are part of a multi-million pound programme by the authority to collate information and better understand the physical and environmental properties in the Celtic Sea.
The surveys will be conducted by Dutch firm Fugro and are due to commence this summer. The survey vessel team will use towed and hull-mounted sensors to collate information on the properties of the seabed and sub-seabed.
