General – Fleet Expansion
Fugro has reached an agreement to acquire two platform supply vessels, Sea Goldcrest and Sea Gull, which will be used as geotechnical assets.
The offshore wind market continues to grow rapidly, further supported by the recent decision of the UN Climate Summit COP28 to triple the world’s renewable energy capacity by 2030, a large portion of which is expected to come from offshore wind.
The acquisition is in line with Fugro’s strategy to capture this market growth opportunity.
Upon delivery of Sea Goldcrest in the course of 2024, Fugro will start the conversion to a geotechnical vessel, which is expected to be operational early 2025.
Sea Gull, which is already under charter with Fugro and fully operational, will be delivered late 2024 or early 2025.
