The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) has published a seminal Metocean Procedures Guide which is the first of its kind. Developed by the IMarEST’s Offshore Renewables Special Interest Group, the guide highlights the meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) information required to support all phases of an offshore renewable (OR) energy project, through development and construction to ongoing operations and maintenance.

The guide is a tool for all those involved in offshore renewables, including project managers, structural engineers, surveyors and logistics personnel based within offshore renewable companies or support organisations and contractors.

Zoe Roberts, Senior Metocean Analyst at Vattenfall Wind Power (UK) commented: “The Metocean Procedures Guide provides a concise strategy for ensuring that metocean is not neglected early in the project lifecycle, thus avoiding headaches in design, construction and operation later on.”
