structures, resulting in efficient hydrographic surveys, reducing project timelines and

providing crucial speed and accuracy in the dynamic maritime environment of the
region.

With an ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2035, Fugro is taking
significant strides in minimising its environmental impact by including more remote

operations in its surveys. Data acquisitions through USVs from remote operation
centres contribute up to 90% less carbon emissions than traditional vessel

operations whilst significantly reducing human exposure to hazardous environments.
This initiative highlights Fugro’s dedication to sustainability and its commitment to

advancing the science of the oceans, affirming its role as a leader in sustainable
maritime operations.

Louis Burnard, Regional Director Marine Site Characterisation Middle East and India,

said: “This addition to the region’s fleet marks Fugro’s commitment to leveraging
technology for a safe and livable world. With the Blue Shadow® navigating our

waters, we’re not just mapping the seabed, we’re forging a path for safer, more
efficient maritime navigation in our region.”
