Marine Mapping Aids Offshore Energy Site Investigations
Environmental consultants Aquatera and marine geographic information specialists SeaZone have teamed up to offer a marine mapping and information solution to the offshore energy industry. Developed primarily to support the growing renewable energy sector, software from Aquatera combines different datasets including the latest marine geographic information data from SeaZone for areas that may be important for future marine renewable projects.
Aquatera has already purchased a considerable amount of data from SeaZone in order to help with the identification of suitable sites for marine renewable devices and other large scale offshore projects and in order to maximise the value of SeaZone's marine geographic information data Aquatera has developed an innovative software solution to display and combine different data sources. RADMAPP from Aquatera, complete with SeaZone data, has now been adopted by a number of renewable energy companies to further assist in bidding processes for obtaining seabed leases, during Environmental Impact Assessment projects and for the selection of best technology and sites.
