DONG Energy is constructing Anholt Offshore Wind Farm, and during the entire sailing season in 2012 and 2013, works will be conducted on establishing the largest offshore wind farm in Denmark, which includes an area of 88km² between Grenaa and Anholt.
While construction is ongoing, the construction site is closed off for safety reasons, and unauthorised navigation in the area is not allowed. A temporary restriction area has been established around the site.
All mariners have been notified of the restriction area through ‘Efterretninger for Søfarende’(Notice to mariners), EfS 40/1100 2011.
The restriction area is marked with 39 yellow ligth buoys. The restriction area will be monitored during the entire construction period, and violations of the ban may lead to prosecution.
Upon completion of the construction at the end of 2013, the restriction area will be abolished.
