Fugro is performing offshore geophysical studies for the UK Crown Estate in the Celtic Sea off the coast of Wales and South West England to analyse plans for offshore wind farms.

The 100-day project will use towed and hull-mounted sensors to gather geophysical data on the properties of the seabed and sub-seabed.

The multi-million-pound programme includes plans for further surveys over the next two years to collect data on everything from wind and wave patterns to birds and marine mammals in the area. Datasets will be made freely available to successful bidders. Four project sites are set to deliver up to 4GW of floating wind capacity.
