Wales’ national marine test centre META has obtained its marine licence from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for Phase 2 of its real-sea testing project.
The move marks a significant step forward for the project, enabling META to support wave and tidal stream testing, as well as testing of floating wind components.
With these new services, the centre will act as a key innovation hub for research into wider blue economy activity.
META Phase 2 offers eight pre-consented test sites located within or adjacent to the Milford Haven Waterway, Pembrokeshire, for accessible, real- sea testing.
It also provides a dedicated facility for research and innovation.
