Annika Koch Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency Thematic transboundary workshop SWB 27-28 January 2016, Malmö
Sector Requirements
acceptable distance to coast
outside shipping routes
location with minimum impact on protected areas
large area consumption: max. 2 turbines/km²
Power Cables
acceptable routes regarding shipping/ extraction sites
minimum impact on the environment
Offshore Wind Farms
acceptable water depth max. 40-45 m suitable seabed conditions
Need for coordination!
good wind conditions
Natural conditions
Conflicting/ Synergetic Issues
Offshore Energy
shipping
fisheries
cables/ pipelines
nature conservation
Defence/ military practice
tourism/ recreation
sand + gravel
extraction
Future needs
Development trends and risks depend on
general sector development (e.g. need for wider safety buffers to shipping routes due to increasing maritime traffic, larger vessels)
technical progress (e.g. higher turbines, alternative foundations)
changing political framework
Potential future conflicts growing and cumulative environmental impact,
growing impact on shipping due to increasing risk of collisions and spatial restrictions,
growing impact on fisheries, leisure traffic due to spatial restrictions
conflicts with sand and gravel extraction due to spatial restrictions
