2010-2011, Intertek-METOC, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, OFTO Offshore Route Desk Study series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_17376aad-e183-4f57-8074-9b8b97318da5 MORL has commissioned Intertek-Metoc and Hyder to identify and evaluate possible offshore and onshore cable routes and substation sites. The principal objectives of this study are to identify options and assess feasibility for: - Route corridors for the export cable (onshore and offshore) - Landfalls - Onshore substation locations The study includes an assessment of the likely offshore and onshore environmental and consenting issues, engineering constraints and economic constraints for each route. Specifically, the Scope of Work will comprise: - The identification of possible onshore routes between suitable landfall areas and the grid connection point (including onshore substation locations, onshore export cable routes and landfall sites); - The identification of possible offshore export cable routes; - A review of the potential offshore and onshore environmental issues for each route identified - Review of possible consenting issues for each route identified - Review of the potential engineering constraints both onshore and offshore for each route identified 20260908T15:30:31
