Two Bombs Found at Rampion Site

During the unexploded ordnance (UXO) surveys at the Rampion offshore wind site, two unexploded items have been found.

The bombs, possibly from the Second World War 2 or even earlier, were located within close vicinity of each other within the offshore site. Nevertheless, the offshore construction is not affected by the UXO discovery.

E.ON has issued a notice to mariners outlining a 500m exclusion zone. Also, a marker buoy has been positioned so the sea users can stay clear until the unexploded items have been retrieved or disposed.

“Safety remains our highest priority and experts are currently determining the best course of action. Local people should not be concerned,” a spokesman from E.ON said.
