5. Navigation and Offshore Renewable Energy Liaison (NOREL)

6. NOREL – ToRs To ensure that the commercial and recreational shipping and ports industries can successfully co- exist with the offshore renewable energy industries and that the needs of the former are taken into account in Government policy on offshore renewable energy. The meetings will do so by providing a forum for Government, developers and stakeholders to discuss and take forward a range of wind farm and other renewable energy related issues.

22. Simon Gooder Offshore Renewables Overview MGN 275 – the baseline The MCA is actively engaged in the offshore renewable energy application and consent process. This includes dialogue with both developers and stakeholders. The MCAs navigation and safety practitioner experience is valued by other Government Departments, developers and stakeholders alike. The MCA will be a formal statutory consultee in the consent process for any UK offshore renewable energy installation whether wind powered or tidal/wave powered. We aim to preserve navigation safety whilst facilitating delivery of Governments Kyoto targets.
