Fugro, the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, has been awarded a long-term contract to provide construction support to Van Oord for offshore wind farms across Europe for three years, with an option to extend.
This will involve multiple remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems, construction equipment, expert personnel, and related services on board Van Oord vessels, Calypso and Subsea Viking. Fugro will assist with cable laying, trenching, and survey operations throughout Europe, providing vital Geo-data to inform positioning and construction of the resources to de-risk the projects and optimise future operations. The ROV spreads provided by Fugro will be permanently stationed on the vessels for three years, ensuring continuous support.
This latest contract award comes after successful delivery of survey and positioning services, metocean forecasting and studies, UXO surveys, and geoconsultancy support over the years.
Stuart Hamilton, positioning and construction support service line director, commented: “We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Van Oord as we both commit to innovative and sustainable solutions to achieve net-zero targets. Our expertise and global support will be crucial to Van Oord in ensuring the efficient and successful delivery of their offshore wind developments to meet the rising demand for renewable energy.”
