3/22/24, 1:12 PM Fugro introduces low-emission uncrewed vessels for Middle East’s ocean data needs - SEAWANDERER
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 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.”
