On 6 May 2026 ORLEN Neptun reported that comprehensive marine environment surveys are being performed for the planned Baltic West offshore wind farm by Polish company MEWO, using specialised survey vessels and an aircraft. Baltic West comprises four licences on the Odra Bank (Ławica Odrzańska), including Area 14.E.3 corresponding to Orlen Neptun III. The campaign pays special attention to groups of organisms key to the marine ecosystem — fish, seabirds and migratory birds, marine mammals, and organisms associated with the seabed — and is carried out on an annual basis so as to capture natural seasonal variation. These surveys form an integral part of preparing the wind farm for construction and operations and will underpin environmental impact assessment and permitting work for the Baltic West cluster.
