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
liveable 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.”--TradeArabia
