Star of the South Offshore Wind Farm

31 May 2023: The investigations into the seabed conditions for the Star of the South project have concluded. Geotechnical vessel Fugro Mariner left the site on 29th May 2023 and returned to port after spending nearly 5 weeks at at sea collecting soil and rock samples from beneath Bass Strait. Key takings from the investigations include: - 50 people worked offshore for 30 days - A collection of an accumulated 1.2 km of ground samples across 22 locations - The vessel operated in waves up to 3 metres high - There were no safety incidents - The ground samples were collected from as deep at 70 metres The ground samples have been recorded and packaged in an onboard lab. They will now be sent to a specialist lab for detailed analysis. The findings of this work will enable developers to design turbine foundations suitable for the local ground conditions. This marks the end of Australia’s very first marine geotechnical study for offshore wind.
