Q&A them in the simulator, what we heard was that they would be comfortable navigating in a wind farm if they ei- ther had better tools or better train- ing for their crew. That was recurring feedback we were receiving. So we cre- ated a fund – which is still in the con- ceptual stage on exactly how it’ll be administered – to subsidize upgrades to mariner’s equipment.

So if you’ve got an old Magnetron radar that you want to upgrade to the newer pulse compression type radar.

And if you feel your crew needs some training, we can make some training available to your crew, or we will sub- sidize paying for that training, to get your crew pro? cient so that you as the master of a vessel feel comfortable navigating in a wind farm.
