The Impact of the Offshore Wind Farm on Radar Navigation

Abstract

Offshore wind farms can improve safety at sea because they are clearly visible landmarks at sea. Although they limit the sea area available to sailors and ships, they will increase the scope of observation of the sea traffic from land, constitute additional landmarks and, thanks to the installation of additional devices in their waters, expand the area of communication between ships and land services, and increase the scope of information on sea traffic available to the services. They also practically do not limit the possibility of observation through the farm's reservoir.
