Offshore wind power
Offshore wind power is currently being planned extensively around Sweden. To ensure that offshore wind does not become an obstacle to shipping, it must be designed with due consideration for the conditions and requirements of maritime traffic.
Knowledge base on offshore wind power and shipping
At the Swedish Maritime Administration, we aim to provide wind power developers, public authorities and other stakeholders with in-depth information about the conditions and requirements of shipping.
The knowledge base provides an overview of the relevant laws and regulations, as well as a brief description of the authorities and organisations involved in shaping and regulating shipping.

Recommendations from the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency (in Swedish)
The Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency aim, through these recommendations, to highlight what should be included in the planning process and in a maritime risk assessment for the development of wind farms in Swedish waters.
