MMT has been awarded the 2021 export cable route surveys for the
Beacon Wind offshore wind farm. The project is led by MMT US Inc, the company’s team based in Providence.

From April to July 2021, MMT is conducting a combination of Geophysical, Geotechnical, Environmental and Benthic surveys along the export route of
Beacon Wind.
This contract is in addition to the offshore survey work awarded to MMT in 2020 which completed in May 2021.


Beacon Wind is an offshore wind project located 60 miles east of Montauk Point, New York and 20 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts in BOEM Lease OCS-A 0520. It is being developed by Equinor and bp through their 50/50 strategic partnership in the US.


Once complete, it is estimated that
Beacon Wind will provide 1,230 MW of offshore wind power to the State of New York, enough power for over 1 million households in the US northeast from the 128,000-acre site. The initial phase of the project is due to commence commercial operation around 2028.
