Fugro and Underwater Survey Technology 21 (UST21) are extending their collaboration in marine site characterisation in the South Korean offshore wind market.
Fugro has extended its memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UST21 following “strong demand” for combined geophysical, geotechnical and metocean data services, launched in 2019, to support South Korea’s offshore wind ambition.
The two-year renewed agreement will enable Fugro, assisted by UST21’s local hydrographic expertise, to provide a comprehensive package of geo-data collection, interpretation and advice.
Fugro has drawn on its full range of marine site characterisation services over the past three years, with UST21’s hydrographic mapping capabilities.
Jerry Paisley, Fugro regional director for marine site characterisation, said: “We are pleased to announce the extension of our Memorandum of Understanding with UST21 in South Korea.
“We believe it demonstrates Fugro’s commitment to this emerging market and our desire to establish long-term relationships within Korea.
“Our aim is to maximise the value and benefits of our innovative digital solutions, experienced personnel and regional resources in the delivery of market-leading geoscience data, precisely tailored to the needs of the client and their wind energy challenges.”
