Take a trip out the the Rampion offshore windfarm. It is approxamately 30 minutes from Brighton Marina and will consist of a 2 -3 hour tour which is best in calm waters.the return trip takes a trip along the Brighton Seafront
The tour greatly depends on on which phase of the project is in operation on the day as we are required to keep a safe distance from the construction vessels but you will be close enough to see the scale of the operation but we can get directly under the turbines.
In January 2016 construction of the Rampion offshore windfarm started, which is expected to be completed in 2018. The windfarm is situated between 13 and 20km from the sussex coast from Worthing stretching down to Brighton. There will be 116 turbines in total when construction has finished, as well as the met mast. Along with the visible structures, there is a large amount of subsea work including laying and burying cables.
Construction of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is now well underway.
The project reached a significant milestone in November 2016 as installation of all 116 turbine foundations was completed on schedule. The yellow transition pieces have also been fitted onto the foundations and now sit approximately 20 metres above sea level ready to hold the turbines.
March 2017
This month marks the installation of the first of 116 wind turbines at the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, with the installations set to continue throughout 2017.
