Timelapse of all vessels constructing Dogger Bank and Sofia wind farms during November and December last year 🚢⚡

This is a sneak peak at an updated set of visuals that I'm working on to show the construction of these ginormous offshore wind farms from open water to full power.

There's some really cool detail in the data that I'm excited to explore, such as the XOCEAN autonomous survey vessels diligently visiting each foundation of Dogger Bank B during the zoomed in part of the video.
