Boaty McBoatface Tests Ocean Monitoring Tech for Floating Wind
Original: Boaty McBoatface Tests Ocean Monitoring Tech for Floating Offshore Wind
The research submarine Boaty McBoatface is being used to test ocean monitoring technology intended to support floating offshore wind development. The famous-named autonomous vessel is collecting data on ocean conditions to help assess sites and operations for floating wind farms. The project links Britain's best-known research vehicle with the growing offshore renewable energy sector.
Why now: The combination of the famously named research vessel and the fast-growing floating offshore wind sector draws public attention.
