Seen here at Battleship Wharf, Port of Blyth (North East England) on 29th August 2008.

I suspect that she is involved with the repairs to the offshore wind farm at Blyth.

    Is the offshore windfarm working now steve? think there was a few problems with it when we were down, never seemed to be working.
    Hi Kev

    Yes after 2 years being 'bust' the offshore turbines have been repaired and since this month have been producing power.

    The cabling to the shore had to be replaced and one of the blades had dropped off (caused by a lightening strike!) ;D

    Regards

    Are they going to put in more on the offshore site Steve, any ideas?
    Hi Kevin

    Not at that particular point as it is built on a rock outcrop - you will have seen the turbines on the North Pier at Blyth, so we probably have plenty  ;D

    Always remember passing a Wind Farm off Ijmuiden, massive in size.
