Offshore Wind Farm Security
Offshore Wind Farm Security Services
As the world moves towards generating more power from renewable energy
sources, businesses are hoping they can benefit. Some
estimates suggest the industry could be worth billions of pounds. Among
proposed projects in the region are two giant offshore wind farms.
According to trade body RenewableUK, the UK now has more offshore wind capacity than the rest of the world put together. While the global total excluding the UK is estimated at 1,100MW, the UK now has 1,341MW.
The UK government is very positive towards this kind of energy. The shallow waters in the North Sea had resulted in favourable conditions for installing turbines.
There are several reasons why it was a smooth process It's not so deep, just 15 to 20 metres, and conditions allow work throughout the winter.

Critical facilities security
Critical Facility Security is fundamentally a plan to protect the facility assets and
employees and the energy production system in general, against seizure, wilful damage, sabotage,
piracy, pilferage, annoyance, or terrorism. It can also be considered as embracing all
measures taken to prevent interference within lawful operations and must also
include measures to prepare to respond to breaches of security. The aim of critical facilities security is to mitigate the risks identified in the initial Security Assessment.
The primary objective of critical facilities security with regards to offshore wind farm security is to ensure that vessels involved do not introduce threats and that vessels are secure and properly vetted. Critical facilities security should, therefore, emphasize facilities where the ship facilities interface.
In order for a facility owner or operator to meet their obligation in ensuring the security of the wind farm facility. Each wind farm owner or operator should implement a security program that incorporates appropriate preparation,
prevention, and response activities should the need arise. These preparations should include appropriate vessel vetting ISPS and ISM audits
