en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fugro plans to commence geotechnical investigation at the Caledonia offshore wind farm in May, following the completion of geophysical surveys in the area. According to a *Notice to Mariners*, the first survey vessel is expected to arrive on May 9, with the second vessel scheduled to begin operations on May 12. Offshore work is anticipated to continue until around August 19, 2026.

The geotechnical investigation includes downhole cone penetration testing (CPT), seismic CPT, PS logging, and borehole sampling, aimed at providing data support for the detailed design and positioning of wind turbines. Fugro will use the vessel *RS Alegranza* for downhole CPT, seismic CPT, and PS logging, while *Fugro Synergy* will be responsible for borehole sampling.

The Caledonia project is located in the Outer Moray Firth off the coast of Scotland, covering approximately 429 square kilometers, about 22 kilometers north of Wick and 38 kilometers north of Banff. The wind farm is divided into two sites: Caledonia North and Caledonia South, each with a planned installed capacity of 900 to 1,100 megawatts. Developer Ocean Winds (a joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE) obtained development rights in the 2022 ScotWind auction and announced plans in 2023 to expand the total capacity to 2 gigawatts.
