Orsted has applied to marine authorities to commence a UXO clearance campaign at its 1400MW Hornsea 2 development off east England.
The developer is looking to clear up to 120 items from across the project's array area and export cable corridor across two separate campaigns between March and September of this year and next.
Offshore construction at the project, which will feature 165 Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines, is set to begin in 2020.
The wind farm, located 89km off the Yorkshire coast, is due online in 2022.
Contractors working on the project include Balfour Beatty, which is building the onshore substation, VolkerInfra, which is supply onshore cables for the wind farm and Nexans, which is supplying near shore cabling.
In December, France-based Louis Dreyfus Armateurs contracted Norwegian offshore crane provider TTS to supply a new service operations vessel that will work on Hornsea 2.
