Redeployment and operation Floating LiDAR System
To inform the engineering designs and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for the proposed Valorous Floating Offshore Wind Farm (FLOW), the successfully recovered Floating LiDAR and associated mooring system is due to be redeployed
within the boundary of the proposed Valorous Floating Offshore Wind Farm (FLOW) project site.
The Floating LiDAR will be lifted on deck and deployed at the location below. The works are expected to take place between the 06 – 15 May 2022. A further Notice to Mariners will be issued to confirm the deployment of the Floating
