Fugro awarded offshore wind website characterisation deal in Japan

Dutch surveyor Fugro has been awarded a website characterisation contract for a wind farm improvement off the coast of the Japanese cities of Murakami and Tainai, Japan.

The offshore wind farm off the nation’s west coast can be developed and realised by a consortium of RWE, Mitsui, and Osaka Fuel. Fugro’s geo-data will contribute to the detailed design of future turbine foundations and cable routes.

The fieldwork is already underway. Fugro’s jack-up platform, the Amberjack, and two of Fugro’s vessels the Equator and the Mariner, can be conducting work below the deal.

“[This] essential Japanese wind farm challenge will contribute to the nation’s dedication to develop offshore wind capability as a part of its objective to be carbon impartial by 2050,” mentioned Jerry Paisley, Fugro’s regional gross sales director.
