  6. NOREL – ToRs“To ensure that the commercial and recreational shipping and ports industries can successfully co-exist with the offshore renewable energy industries and that the needs of the former are taken into account in Government policy on offshore renewable energy. The meetings will do so by providing a forum for Government, developers and stakeholders to discuss and take forward a range of wind farm and other renewable energy related issues.” safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  9. NOREL business (sample):- Interpretation of “Recognised sea lanes…etc”- Reports from the SEAs- Trials reports eg North Hoyle Radar- Kentish Flats radar (PLA)- Routeing measures- Energy Act 2004 matters safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  10. North Hoyle SAR Trials- 21 March with SK(HAR.3) C Flt 22 Sqn RAF Valley- Radar tracking of small contacts to within 100m of turbines.- TIC satisfactory performance- VHF no problem- Increased power required- SAR implications, report awaited. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  21. Developments – Actual & Aspirational • European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) - Orkney • Ocean Power Delivery (“sea sausage”) • Lunar Energy (submersible turbines) • Lynmouth, Marine Current Turbines, installation May 2003 (rotor) • Strangford Lough • SW Wave Hub, off Hayle, Cornwall • Wave Dragon, approaches to Milford Haven (wave overtopping) Tidal & Wave Energy safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  22. Simon Gooder Offshore Renewables Overview • MGN 275 – the baseline • The MCA is actively engaged in the offshore renewable energy application and consent process. This includes dialogue with both developers and stakeholders. • The MCA’s navigation and safety practitioner experience is valued by other Government Departments, developers and stakeholders alike. • The MCA will be a formal statutory consultee in the consent process for any UK offshore renewable energy installation whether wind powered or tidal/wave powered. • We aim to preserve navigation safety whilst facilitating delivery of Government’s Kyoto targets. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas
