ONE-Dyas wants to reduce the visibility of the offshore infrastructure as much as possible by choosing the lowest possible platform. The intended location offers the best opportunities for drilling multiple gas fields from a single production platform. At the same time, the northern location ensures minimum visibility from the West and East Frisian Islands.

How visible is the N05-A platform from the coast?
The production platform is located 20 kilometres off the coast near Borkum, Rottumerplaat and Schiermonnikoog. It is 37.5 metres high and visible about 30% of the time in clear weather. Its visible size is comparable to the height of passing ships.
