As part of the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm project, 7 off Cardinal Buoys will be installed offshore at the Dudgeon Windfarm Site, located approximately 32km offshore of the North Norfolk coast, off the town of Cromer.
The installation will be performed by the Trinity House Vessel, Galatea, scheduled to be executed in the period 7th – 12th of December 2015 (excluding waiting on weather). The working vessel Galatea is on a “call off” contract and may be required to break off the operation in case of maritime emergencies or other statutory duties as dictated by Trinity House.
The Cardinal buoys will be installed at the following locations:
