Notice to Mariners

In December 2021 Equinor started offshore environmental surveys to collect data for the Environmental Impact Assessment.

The surveys will be conducted initially over a 12-month period and will include marine mammals, seabirds, seawater and sediment quality, marine ecology, fish, marine physics and underwater noise. Equinor has appointed specialist subcontractors to manage the surveys in a safe manner.

The surveys will be conducted in the offshore wind turbine array area as well as the proposed cable route to shore. Equinor will issue a Notice to Mariners on a regular basis which will include details of the upcoming surveys and areas where the surveys will take place, as well as details about the survey’s vessel and contact information.
