Limited places left for ICOE Orkney Day Trip: Book your place before Monday 15th Feb

There are still a few places left on the Orkney Day Trip being hosted by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) on Monday 22nd February 2016.

The event is an official side event for the International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE) which commences on Tuesday 23rd following the day trip to Orkney.

The Orkney Day Trip will give you the opportunity to:

•  Learn more about EMEC and the unprecedented level of marine renewables activity that has taken place on the islands over the last decade;
• Visit the Billia Croo wave test site on the west coast of Orkney;
• Take a look inside EMEC’s electrical substation, where the electricity produced by wave energy converters firsts lands onshore;
• Tour Orkney’s marine renewables supporting infrastructure, including Hatston Pier;
• Talk with the local supply chain; and
• Hear from some of the key players within the marine renewables industry.

There may also be an opportunity to fly over the Fall of Warness tidal test site but this will be dependent on weather conditions.

A nominal cost for the day trip is fixed at £300 + VAT to cover the cost of return flights to Orkney from Edinburgh, and local transport on the island. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
