Three marine vessels that study the makeup and geology of seabeds are scheduled to arrive in Maine over the next week or so to survey the proposed route of an underwater cable that will link a floating, offshore wind turbine near Monhegan Island with the mainland power grid in East Boothbay. The subsea cable survey marks a milestone for New England Aqua Ventus, the partnership that’s developing what is expected to be the nation’s first demonstration of commercial-scale, offshore floating wind technology.
