Alpha Marine will be undertaking a reconnaissance survey in the Irish Sea off the Wicklow coast to provide background information informing future site investigation works for phase two of the Arklow Bank Wind Park.
The works, which will include magnetometer surveying, are anticipated to start between now and the end of October 2021 and will last for approximately three days, weather dependent.
The survey activities will be undertaken by the multi-purpose crew transfer vessel AMS Panther (callsign 2EHC2).
As this vessel will be restricted in its ability to manoeuvre when surveying, other vessels are requested to keep a wide berth. The vessel will be operating 12 hours per day during survey works.
Specifics of the survey locations and relevant contact details are included in Marine Notice No 50 of 2021, which can be downloaded below.
