GEOxyz Conducting Seabed Survey at East Anglia Two Offshore Wind Site

GEOxyz is carrying out a geophysical site survey at ScottishPower Renewables’ East Anglia Two offshore wind farm site in the UK North Sea to collect seabed data at planned wind turbine locations.

The survey covers an area of approximately 218 square kilometres, located around 46 kilometres off England’s east coast. Operations are being conducted around the clock by GEOxyz’s 41.9-metre vessel Geo Ocean IV.

The vessel is using a hull-mounted multibeam echosounder to map seabed elevation and morphology and collect backscatter data.

According to a Notice to Mariners, adverse weather has extended the survey schedule, with completion now expected by 30 October, weather permitting.
