The company, a subsidiary of Italian renewables developer Renexia, commissioned two vessels to do the survey work – the British-flagged, 285-foot geotechnical survey vessel Ocean Discovery and the 110-foot Shearwater.
Ocean Discovery is a geotechnical survey vessel that is doing analysis of the seabed, drilling up to 240 feet to sample and analyze the sand and clay believed to be there, US Wind officials told The Baltimore Sun.
