Area 2 First Published: 13 December 2013 Latest Update: 07 May 2014 Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Windfarm Metocean Buoy Deployment On the 20th April 2014, Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Limited deployed two metocean buoys at their offshore Wind Farm site approximately 21km east of the Fife coast. Please find location details below. The buoys measure (1) wind speed and direction and (2) waves and currents; both buoys are deployed alongside each other. Both buoys are painted to IALA standard, have an amber navigation light set to flash 5 times at 1Hz every 20 seconds. Buoy (1) is moored using two delta flipper anchors with riser chains (max. 250m each). There are two pennant buoys floating on the surface above each of the two seabed anchors associated with the buoy. The pennant buoys are yellow, 1m long, diameter of 0.5m and are unlit. They are attached to the anchors by steel wire. Buoy (2) is moored via a single bungee line. The buoys will be deployed within the Neart na Gaoithe Wind farm boundary, at the following co-ordinates: (1) 56 15.762 N 02 15.011 W 92m drift radius (anchors marked with pennant buoys at 56 15.875 N 02 15.032 W and 56 15.654 N 02 15.029 W) (2) 56 15.766 N 02 15.203 W 82m drift radius Please note requirement for wide berth when passing buoys detailed below due to their large excursion as a result of their mooring configurations. The buoys were deployed on 20th April 2014 and are expected to stay in place for up to 12 months (until approx. 20th April 2015).

However, remedial construction works are required at a number of turbines and inter array cable locations. Diving Operations Please be advised that Red7Marine Offshore Ltd on behalf of London Array Offshore Ltd will be undertaking Diving and Construction work within the London Array Offshore Wind Farm. Operations will be conducted from the vessel Red7 Reel, a support RIB COM III and shallow water vessel Myss operated by Red7Marine Offshore Ltd. During operation the Red7 Reel will be acting as a mothership for the COM III and Myss. Throughout all diving operations a 500m exclusion zone will be enforced around each vessel. Estimated start date: 5 April 2014 Estimated finish date: August 2014 In order to avoid damage to the wind farm assets whilst remedial construction is conducted at London Array the following guidelines should be adhered to: Safety Exclusion Zones remain in operation for October 2013 and will be reinstated in March 2014 through to November 2014. This means an enforceable 50m safety zones from each turbine and 500m safety zones from a construction vessel will be in operation for this period. Between October 2013 and November 2014 an advisory 100m safety zone should be observed around each turbine and offshore substation due to the risk of exposures of array cable ends at foundations whilst remedial works are on-going. Cable reburial is required at the following locations and as such these areas should be avoided in totality.

Although not expected, natural seabed variation may reduce the depth of burial over buried cables without London Array s immediate knowledge. Snagging cables not only poses a risk to health and safety but could also cause a serious risk of damage to wind farm assets.
