    The latest survey has identified two areas where there is potential EXPOSED/FREE-SPAN CABLE along the EXPORT CABLES of the WEST of DUDDON SANDS OFFSHORE WIND FARM

     

    There is the potential that both cables are exposed in the area immediately to either side, to the East and West, of the BARROW WIND FARM EXPORT CABLE CROSSING

    POTENTIAL FREE-SPANS / EXPOSURES EAST OF BARROW CABLE CROSSING

     

    The two expanses of potential exposure have been identified between the following co-ordinates:
