Conwy Local Notice to Mariners – Offshore Geotechnical Site Investigation

The Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is an extension of the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm originally developed by RWE in the Irish Sea. The proposed site has a total area of 106km2 with a capacity of approximately 576 MW. The development will include offshore transmission assets, with the export cable route likely to reach landfall on the North Wales coast to allow a grid connection at Bodelwyddan in Denbighshire.

Fugro will undertake a geotechnical site investigation to characterise the Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm extension areas. This survey work is detailed in the attached document.

Conwy Notice to Mariners 12/2022

All Mariners are advised that Survey work will commence offshore at Conwy Bay and Red Wharfe Bay, commencing 17 June 2022 to 31 July 2022.  Coordinates and Charts are appended to this notice.  Mariners are advised to exercise caution if navigating close to the area marked due to the potential presence of survey equipment.

A further notice will be issued once the works are complete.
