The vessels and SEP are equipped with Fugro-owned geophysical, geotechnical, and positioning systems, which will acquire geo-data to enable the detailed design of turbine foundations and cable routes.

“Fugro has been established in Japan for more than 30 years, and RWE is a key global client of ours. So we’re pleased that RWE, Mitsui & Co., and Osaka Gas have chosen us to deliver this important Japanese wind farm project, which will contribute to the country’s commitment to expand offshore wind capacity as part of its goal to be carbon neutral by 2050,” said Jerry Paisley , Fugro’s regional sales director.
