Please find attached the application information. We will be providing an updated shapefile defining the AOI in due course. In the meantime, please proceed with seeking authorisation.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Most of this area is surveyed with both MBS and SBP. In attached picture the western part (green and brown) are surveyed at 2015-2016, the rest later up to 2023. No modern surveys are available form the shallow areas (areas not covered with solid fill), only sparse data from Soviet times. The data is managed by Estonian Transport Administration, and can be requested. The request must be approved by Estonian Navy and Defence Police. 1 Therefore please write and official application containing information which is indicated in attached document and send it back to me. I will forward this to the authorities. Depths resolution can start from about 1 m (starting from 4 m the output from DDB is lot easier), formats either XYZ or shape. SBP data in SegY and Meridata format. Besides of the application no licensing and costs are involved (at least for now). BR.

Data resolution, area and what kind of data. On January 23rd 2025, Oxan Energy, a French-based offshore wind developer was awarded by the Estonian Authorities (CPTRA/TTJA) an auction of the offshore zone Saare 1 for a 50 years lease, 60 km off the coast of Saarema. Together with its partner SNOW B.V, Oxan Energy (hereafter the Company) will develop the ‘Saare 1’ offshore wind project which has a potential capacity of 900 MW. The data is intended to support our early project development strategy by strengthening our understanding of the site characteristics (seabed morphology, sub-seabed conditions, potential hazards, etc.) and subsequent preliminary engineering. This will also inform the definition of future seabed survey requirements. Mutli-beam echosounder data, side scan sonar data (if available) and seismic data over the offshore lease area and potential cable routes would be of primary interest. Wood Thilsted are working on behalf of Oxan Energy to carry out a site characterisation desk study for the offshore zone. We would kindly request to receive processed Multi Beam Echo Sounder and Sub Bottom Profiler data within the area of interest (AOI), shapefile (.shp) attached to the covering email. We understand a consistent 4mx4m DTM resolution can be achieved across the area for the MBES (please advise if a 1mx1m resolution is also achievable). We would like to recievve the best possible resolution of the data possible. A tiled deliverable is acceptable, however should a merged DTM be avaliable for the AOI please could this also be provided. Please provide MBES bathymetry in gridded geoTiff format at the best possible resolution. If backscatter, TVU (total vertical uncertainty), THU (total horizontal uncertainty) and TPU (Total Propagated Uncertainty), data is also avaliable, please also provide in a geoTiff format. Please provide any bathymetric contours in .shp format. If any MBES/backscatter targets or bedforms have been picked it would also be useful data to recieve. Please provide any associated survey reports (if avaliable) including any details of the Seawater Velocity Profile used for the processing, and any details about the processing methodology. Where avaliable please provide: Processed Multibeam Echosounder deliverable request MBES sounding data .xyz Cleaned and corrected to datum. Gridded at highest resolution possible possible while providing full .xyz MBES DTM coverage of the survey area, reduced to datum and produced by .tif gridding the swathe bathymetry data to a regular grid. Bathymetric contours .shp At an appropriate interval, to be agreed. Processed MBES Calculated data density, standard deviation, TVU, THU, TPU, and .xyz data bin cell difference grids at the same resolution(s) as the supplied .tif Statistics Grids MBES DTMs. .xyz MBES backscatter Backscatter image at highest resolution possible. .tif In Excel spreadsheets containing graphs and as plain text files .xls stripped of trailing values. Data columns must include as a mini- SVP documentation .jpg mum depth sounding, recorded speed and corrected speed. Data from both down- and up-going casts are to be included. Tide documentation .jpg Description/image describing the tidal reduction method used.  Unique ID  Easting  Northing Target list  Target dimensions; length, width, height (m) .xlsx (from MBES and/or  Description/interpretation .shp backscatter)  where relevant, associated magnetic targets  Confidence (no. of lines seen on)  Source line name  Source file name A report detailing Targets including an image presented in appropriate Target Report .tif scale Raw and processed SBP data (full waveform), in time domain. Heave and datum-corrected, despiked navigation with a unique co-ordinate pair for eachtrace and fully populated EBCIDICs. Data should be provided in .SGY or .SEGY formats. Reports specifying the processing that has been undertaken and methodology where avaliable. 3) How the data will be treated, will they be published in any way ? If yes then how, at which precision and which part ? Data will be used to develop site models that will be used by the applicant in the development of the wind farm. No external publication is planned. 4) Should the data be handed over to the third persons ? If yes then which part and at which precision ? The data available over the offshore lease area and potential cable routes should be handed over to representatives of Wood Thilsted Partners Ltd at the best possible resolution. Wood Thilsted Partners Limited (WT) 1st Floor, 91-94 Lower Marsh, London, SE1 7AB United Kingdom Oliver Kean Senior Geophysicist Email: [email protected] Phone: +44 (0) 7476304151 Data would potentially be handed over to third parites in the future to support the site development, for example seabed mobility consultants and cabling contractors.
