The test site offers a combination of shelter from prevailing wind and swell direction, enabling the high levels of accessibility to deployed devices required for development at TRL 4-8, yet giving exposure to significant sea states from the E/SE.

FaBTest is a pre-consented, nursery site for the development and testing of Marine Energy Convertors and components as well as Autonomous systems. The application period can be streamlined to allow deployment in 8 weeks.
