Vestas Offshore

The offshore wind industry is still a very young industry and is consequently at an early stage of the learning curve. Vestas has been in the offshore wind market since its beginning and is therefore one of the most experienced in the field of supplying wind turbines. Vestas has installed around half of the world's offshore wind power plants, which naturally gives us exhaustive knowledge and a proven track record within this challenging environment. We are , so to say, a mature player in an immature market.

Marine Scotland is the lead marine management organisation in Scotland. It was established on April 1 2009 as a Directorate of the Scottish Government (SG), to integrate core marine functions involving scientific research, fisheries compliance monitoring, policy and management of Scotland’s seas. The new Directorate combines the functions and resources of the former SG Marine Directorate, Fisheries Research Services and the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency.

Mission, purpose and new legislation

Marine Scotland’s mission is to manage Scotland’s seas for prosperity and environmental sustainability - supporting the SG’s overall purpose of sustainable economic growth. Marine Scotland’s ability to meet its purpose will be enhanced by the powers proposed in the Scottish Marine Bill and the UK Marine and Coastal Access Bill.

Locations and resources

Marine Scotland is organised into six divisions located on different sites in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Pitlochry. Among its resources is a wealth of staff expertise and experience, laboratories and field stations. In addition, there is a fleet, comprising two research vessels, Scotia and Alba na Mara, four protection vessels, Hirta, Norna, Minna and Jura (see overleaf), and two surveillance aircraft.
