Dutch surveyor Fugro has reached a binding agreement for the acquisition of the remaining shares
in uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) specialist SEA-KIT International.

The transaction is expected to be completed before the end of 2023, subject to customary closing
conditions. SEA-KIT will continue to provide clients with high-quality USV products for cost-

effective operations with enhanced safety and significantly reduced carbon emissions.

Following the acquisition, the two companies will look to launch of the next generation of USVs –

the 18-metre Blue Eclipse – designed for fast pipeline and deep-water asset inspection activities as
well as a zero-emissions hydrogen-powered USV.

Fugro and SEA-KIT have had a developed partnership for years which saw the delivery of the first
commercially available remotely operated USV and electric-powered remotely operated vehicle

(ROV) combi solutions to the offshore asset inspection and monitoring market as well as the
delivery of five Fugro Blue Essence 12-metre USVs.
