Statement

As part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme the survey operations were not undertaken by a single contractor; rather Geotek had let individual contracts for the differing aspect of the survey requirements to specialist organisations. The vessel and seabed sampling equipment were supplied by the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), benthic and chemical sampling was provided by ERT (UK) Ltd, camera surveys and video processing was carried out by SeaStar Survey and an overview and direction of geological requirements was implemented by the British Geological Survey. Samples were collected using box corer, gravity corer, grab sampler, megacorer. The video survey was carried out using a Kongsberg OE14-366 High Definition Video Camera and Kongsberg Simrad OE14-208 digital stills camera system. Cruise report was prepared by Geotek Ltd.
