The MoU with Underwater Survey Technology 21 (UST21) will enable Fugro to make use of its experience on over 100 offshore wind farms.
Growing demand for alternative energy sources has led South Korea to explore its potential for wind energy.
The agreement with UST21 will facilitate collaboration on marine projects in South Korean waters. Fugro will expand UST21鈥檚 local hydrography capacity to provide site characterisation services, including geotechnical and geophysical work. In return, UST21鈥檚 local hydrographic expertise will provide logistical and operational support to Fugro鈥檚 offshore projects.
鈥淲e are extremely pleased to announce the signing of this MOU with UST21, with whom Fugro has great synergy,鈥� said Fugro鈥檚 regional director for marine site characterisation in Asia-Pacific. 鈥淏y combining Fugro鈥檚 offshore site characterisation expertise with UST21鈥檚 hydrographic capabilities in South Korea, we are now well positioned to capitalise on the growing South Korean wind farm market.鈥�
