All of the vessels operating on the Gwynt y Môr windfarm are equipped with AIS (the Automatic Identification System). This provides real-time information about their location and recent movements.
We have produced two live maps which will help you to keep track of vessel activity at Gwynt y Môr.
The first map shows the location of all vessels in the vicinity of the Gwynt y Môr site; and the second shows the location of all of the vessels that are currently involved in construction work.
Vessels on the Gwynt y Môr Site
This map is centred on the Gwynt y Môr site (the pink diamond in the middle of the map is the Gwynt y Môr east Meteorological Mast). It shows the location of all of the vessels equipped with AIS in the area.
You can zoom in and out of the map, and click on the vessel icons to find out more about them and their recent movements.
To restore the map to its original settings, just hit the “refresh” button in your web browser, or press Ctrl-F5 on your keyboard.
