This is a further update to Mariners about the cable repair work that is being carried out on the export cable for the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm.
This work started in January, and was completed in March 2021. After the repair a small loop of cable remained unburied and raised above the seabed by approximately 2m. A north cardinal buoy has been installed 75m north of the cable loop and will remain in position until the completion of works in July 2022.
Details of this buoy and its location can be downloaded here. The key details are summarised below:-
- Location: 53°23.052’N 003° 35.481’W (WGS 84).
- Specification: Yellow buoy, tall black pillar, north cardinal shape.
