Information on Ørsted’s offshore wind activities for ocean users


Ørsted’s approach to offshore wind starts with recognizing the ocean as a shared space – a place where people fish, sail, and enjoy nature. 

That’s why our Marine Affairs team is committed to helping fishermen and other mariners thrive in and around our offshore wind farms. We keep open lines of communication and work to avoid or mitigate impacts wherever possible. Our team provides regular updates and relevant resources about our offshore activities, maintaining fishing access and promoting safe navigation during wind farm development, construction, and operations.

Access navigational charts

Ørsted works closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to make our asset locations available to the public. NOAA’s navigational charts, which include all projects in operation and under construction, can be found here. 

Keeping open lines of communication

We’re committed to maintaining a strong working relationship with all mariners and seafarers with whom we share the ocean. Our Fisheries Communication and Outreach Plan and our Maritime Stakeholder Communication and Outreach Plan outline our strategies for communicating, coordinating, and successfully coexisting with all ocean users.

Programs for fishermen

Our Marine Affairs team works closely with fishermen, ensuring the ocean remains a place where both offshore wind and fishing can thrive. In addition to regular communications, Ørsted provides fishing-specific programs designed to avoid or mitigate impacts on individuals who rely on local fisheries.

Lost or damaged fishing gear claim

Navigation Enhancement and Training Program

Ørsted’s Navigation Enhancement and Training Program offers vouchers for professional training, and approved navigation equipment for eligible commercial and for-hire fishermen. Eligible fishing license holders can also access experiential learning opportunities with Ørsted’s offshore wind simulation.

Compensation for fishing claims

Fisheries Direct Compensation Programs are available to compensate eligible commercial and for-hire fishermen for economic losses incurred during the construction, operation, and decommissioning of Ørsted wind farms. Rhode Island fisherman impacted by Revolution Wind can apply here. All other fishermen can apply here.
