General – South Korea
Fugro has opened a new office called Fugro UST21 in Incheon, South Korea, as part of a joint venture with UST21, a South Korean marine technology company.
This new office will provide Geo-data solutions for South Korea’s growing offshore renewable energy sector, which Fugro has been actively supporting in collaboration with UST21 since 2019 via a Memorandum of Understanding.
The creation of Fugro UST21 establishes Fugro’s first permanent presence in the country.
Jerry Paisley, Fugro’s Regional Sales Director for APAC, stated: “We’ve already been working closely with UST21 for several years but this new office allows us to better support our valued South Korean clients and meet their growing offshore needs as part of the green energy transition. South Korea is the world’s eighth largest power consumer, while the offshore windfarm market predicts around 14 GW of fixed-bottom and floating wind projects to come online by 2030, so our new office is perfectly timed to capture these opportunities and unlock Geo-data insights for South Korea’s offshore windfarm developments.”
