The offshore wind farm off the country’s west coast will be developed and realised by a consortium of RWE, Mitsui and Osaka Gas.
Fugro’s Geo-data will contribute to the detailed design of future turbine foundations and cable routes.
The fieldwork started in May 2024 and is being performed from Fugro jack-up platform, the Amberjack and two of Fugro’s vessels the Equator and the Mariner.
All are equipped with Fugro-owned geophysical, geotechnical and positioning systems, which will acquire Geo-data to enable the detailed design of turbine foundations and cable routes.
