MarramWind floating offshore wind farm helps solve World War I maritime mystery

Iberdrola, through its UK subsidiary ScottishPower, is conducting studies in the North Sea for what could be one of the world's first floating offshore wind farms.

During this seabed analysis phase, the probable resting place of the SS Tobol, a Russian merchant ship that was torpedoed by a German submarine in 1917 during the First World War, has been identified.

Following the discovery, a 250 metre exclusion zone has been established around the wreck to protect it during MarramWind's research work.
