WHY SAFETY
+
As turbines move further offshore the risks increase.
Speed of responses remains key to survival so search and rescue needs to be rethought.
WHY O&M
+
Eliminating the need for in field standby vessels means that O&M strategies can become more flexible, agile and environmentally friendly.
WHY YIELD
+
Resident search and rescue solutions create opportunities to optimise wind farm layouts which have been constrained by SAR provision up to this point.
