This policy provides guidance to developers on how to ensure safe navigation in and around offshore renewable energy infrastructure (OREI).
Notify us: If you’re developing OREI, contact AMSA in the project planning stage so we can advise on how to reduce navigation risks: NavSafety@amsa.gov.au
What is offshore renewable energy infrastructure?
OREI includes:
- wind farms
- devices that generate electricity from wave, tide or current action.
OREI sites can be very large in area and near busy shipping traffic lanes.
