The Fugro offshore survey agreement with Heerema Marine Contractors has been extended by four years, with the renewed term running from January 2027 to December 2030. It covers survey services and positioning support for Heerema’s heavy-lift vessel fleet during the transport, installation and removal of offshore structures, including oil and gas platforms and offshore wind foundations. Fugro will also use its remote operations centres to provide real-time oversight of offshore activities.
The extension follows the companies’ initial four-year global framework agreement, signed in February 2022. That agreement included Fugro’s QuickVision, 3Direct and InclinoCam technologies, as well as remote services and specialist teams.
A previous joint project was the 257 MW Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm in Germany’s Baltic Sea. In 2023, Heerema installed 27 turbines using a floating rotor-nacelle assembly method. Fugro’s QuickVision camera system monitored lifting and positioning, enabling the rotor-nacelle assemblies to be positioned with accuracy of less than 2 cm, according to the company.
