Fugro has been awarded a contract to perform comprehensive geotechnical surveys for the NordSee Energies 1 offshore wind farm, a major renewable energy project being developed by TotalEnergies on the North Sea N-12.1 site. The investigations will provide essential insights into seabed conditions at planned wind turbine locations and inter-array cable routes, directly informing the safe and efficient design of turbine foundations.

Global ocean services provider DeepOcean has successfully completed trenching and survey operations on inter-array cables for a U.S. offshore wind project.

Successfully delivered in October 2025, the survey covered both the wind farm site and the export cable corridor, located approximately 12 nautical miles off the coast of Rimini in the Adriatic Sea. Fugro deployed two dedicated vessels to accelerate data acquisition and ensure efficient coverage of the area. This dual-vessel strategy enabled high-resolution mapping of the seabed and subsurface conditions, using ultra high-resolution shallow seismic data and geophysical investigations, while also identifying and preserving potential archaeological features critical to the project's planning and permitting process.

Japan-based submarine cable installation specialist, SEKIKAIJI Industry, has expanded its capabilities with the purchase of new trenching equipment from subsea technology and services provider, SMD.

Fugro UST21 has completed offshore geotechnical site investigations for Ørsted’s 1.4 GW Incheon offshore wind project in early August 2025, located approximately 70 km off the coast of Incheon, South Korea. The project is set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the country and plays a pivotal role in Korea’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Fugro has been awarded a significant contract for the 700 MW Youde offshore wind farm by Shinfox Energy in Taiwan’s Round 3.2 offshore wind tender. Under this contract, Fugro will deliver comprehensive geotechnical services to support the development of the Youde project, located off the west coast of Taiwan.

International subsea specialist Sulmara is seeing a rise in demand for its uncrewed surface vessel (USV) operations and seabed mapping services, driven by the ongoing expansion of Taiwan’s offshore wind market. This surge also reflects a clear trend among developers - a shift toward earlier engagement in site investigation and survey planning to support more efficient, long-term project delivery.

Fugro and Spoor, a software company that helps renewable energy projects reduce their environmental impact, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a new bird-monitoring solution for offshore renewable energy projects. This innovative system will not only help protect bird populations but also supports the growth of renewable energy by making environmental assessments more affordable, cleaner, and safer.

Fugro has been awarded the contract for offshore soil investigation services for the proposed Blue Mackerel offshore wind farm in Australia. When complete, it will become one of Australia's pioneering offshore wind energy projects. Located off the coast of Brataualung and Tatungalung country in Gippsland, Victoria, the project will play a critical role in Australia’s clean energy transition.

Forum Energy Technologies’ (FET) Subsea Product Line, a global leader in subsea robotics, has signed a contract for the sale of an electric Sub Atlantic Super Mohawk II remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and Dynacon Launch and Recovery (LARS) system to a North American subsea organization. The ROV will be used for shallow water operations in the Northeastern United States, marking the company’s first sale for river bed assessments alongside offshore wind farm surveying.

Sustainable monitoring of the marine environment is crucial for the environmentally responsible operation of offshore wind farms and the protection of biodiversity. In the SeaMe project, RWE is collaborating with leading research partners to develop innovative technologies for comprehensive ecosystem monitoring. The goal is to replace costly, invasive, and CO2-intensive methods. The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is contributing by equipping an autonomous underwater vehicle with oceanographic sensors and artificial intelligence technologies to enable safe navigation and precise data collection.

Specialist provider of offshore support services, Interocean Marine Services (Interocean) has been awarded a four-year extension to its frame agreement with multinational power company, Vattenfall. Strengthening the existing relationship, the new contract will see Interocean introduce its remotely operated vehicle (ROV) inspection services to support Below Water Balance of Plant (BOP) for the Thanet, Kentish Flats, and Kentish Flats Extension wind farms, alongside the Aberdeen and Ormonde offshore wind farms it already supports.

Subsea7 today announced the award to Seaway7, part of the Subsea7 Group, of a substantial1 contract by ScottishPower Renewables for the transport and installation of the inter-array cables of the East Anglia TWO offshore wind project. ScottishPower Renewables £4 billion East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm will be located around 33 kilometres from the east coast of England in the Southern North Sea. Successful in the UK Government’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round in September 2024, it will contribute up to 960 MW of clean, green energy – enough to power the equivalent of almost one million homes.

Petrobras will invest BRL 60 million in a new sea wind testing and measuring phase by releasing new BRAVO buoy units to collect, monitor, and assess offshore wind resources. The technology, designed in an unprecedented way for the Brazilian sea, is the outcome of a successful R&D I project by the Petrobras Center for Research, Development, and Innovation (Cenpes) in partnership with the SENAI Institute of Renewable Energy Innovation (ISI-ER), and the SENAI Institute of Onboard System Innovation (ISI-SE). The first five new units will start operating in December, while the others will be in late 2025, resuming the projects that began with the pioneering Bravo unit, which has just completed one year of nonstop wind measuring operations in the Areia Branca Sea on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte.

RenewableUK and Scottish Renewables are pleased to announce Floating Offshore Wind will be back again on 9 - 10 October 2024 at the P&J Live in Aberdeen.

Fugro has successfully completed four years of continuous survey operations in New Jersey and New York for US-based offshore wind developer Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind. Supporting the site assessment of five projects across three lease areas totalling 1,000 km², Fugro worked with Atlantic Shores to pioneer a new data collection and management approach that increased survey efficiency by 30% and contributed to the recent federal approval of Atlantic Shores South, which will provide 2,800 MW of clean energy to New Jersey.

Rovco has been awarded the site characterisation operations for Green Volt floating offshore wind farm, located 80 km east of Peterhead in Scotland. Scheduled to be fully operational in 2029, Green Volt will become one of the world’s largest offshore floating windfarms. It will consist of up to 35 floating turbines and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 1 million tons per year, contributing up to 1.5 TWh of clean energy to the UK annually.

Community Offshore Wind, a joint venture between RWE and National Grid Ventures, has selected Fugro to perform a geotechnical investigation of their lease area in the New York Bight. With 3 GW of offshore wind energy potential, the developed lease area could power more than one million homes in the region, making a valuable contribution to the US energy transition.
