Baltic Power, a joint venture between Orlen and Northland Power, aims to install an offshore wind farm with a total capacity of up to 1.2GW, comprising 76 wind turbines and two offshore substations (OSS). The Manta Ray G1 system includes a towed array equipped with special seismic sensors (hydrophones) and positioning systems, enabling the detection of rocks in the sub-seafloor through sound wave reflection and diffraction.
