In 2012 Ocean Winds secured the first seabed permit underpinning the BC‑Wind offshore wind farm, when it obtained a location decision described as a “permit for the construction of artificial islands” for the B‑Wind part of the project in Poland’s Baltic Sea. This decision granted rights to build and use artificial islands, structures and installations in the designated offshore area, effectively formalising the B‑Wind site as part of what is now the BC‑Wind project. Together with the later permit for the adjacent C‑Wind area, it established the full project footprint north of Krokowa and Choczewo in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
