Fugro and NYK have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese geoscience specialist OYO Corporation to target offshore wind site characterisation opportunities in Japan.
Fugro, NYK and OYO will provide a “comprehensive service” for the country’s offshore wind energy industry, through the joint operation of an offshore geotechnical investigation vessel by NYK and Fugro, plus Fugro’s “global knowledge and experience” in offshore wind site investigations and OYO’s insight into the Japanese geoscience market.
Fugro marine site characterisation director for Asia-Pacific Jerry Paisley said: “We’re delighted to welcome OYO to the team alongside Fugro and NYK and view this as another positive step forward for the Japanese offshore wind industry.
“OYO’s mission to contribute to the creation of a safe and secure society blends perfectly with Fugro’s vision to create a safe and liveable world, and increasing the proportion of renewable energy generated in Japan is our joint investment in Japan’s greener future.”
