October 19, 2026 · 11 hours ago

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 kilometers, located around 46 kilometers off England’s east coast. Operations are being conducted around the clock by GEOxyz’s 41.9-meter 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 October 30, weather permitting.

East Anglia Two is a 960 MW offshore wind farm set to comprise 64 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD turbines installed on monopile foundations. Preparations for construction are progressing, with offshore work scheduled to start in 2027.
