First offshore site assessment survey in New York Bight

Tuesday, January 10 2023

Wind Energy – New York Bight

Fugro is thrilled to begin survey operations for Community Offshore Wind’s development in the New York Bight.

Community Offshore Wind is a joint venture between RWE Renewables and National Grid.

The data collected will help inform safe and responsible project design and engineering, identifying potential geohazards and obstructions, as well as benthic habitats and archaeological resources.

The survey work, managed by Fugro, kicks off this week and will continue through summer 2023 with two vessels.

Community Offshore Wind has collaborated closely with Fugro on the project phasing to accelerate the overall development process.

Key to this approach is Fugro’s use of advanced survey technology that can accurately and safely operate in winter sea conditions.

The Community Offshore Wind team is working closely with area fisheries to prevent the disruption of commercial and recreational fishing over the course of the survey’s duration. Local commercial fishermen will be onboard the survey vessels to manage communication and coordinate with fishing fleets.

Prior to the start of the survey, one of Community Offshore Wind’s fisheries representatives, a commercial fisherman from Barnegat Light, NJ, scouted the area for fishing gear and other potential obstructions.
