        FUGRO EXPANDS BLUE ESSENCE® FLEET WITH


        UK COASTGUARD’S HIGHEST APPROVAL



          Maritime   News  by Editor -























































        In a significant move towards safer and more sustainable marine operations,
        Fugro has announced the expansion of its Blue Essence® uncrewed surface
        vessel (USV) fleet. The latest addition, named Fugro Vaquita, now stands as
        the largest USV with Category 0 approval from the UK Maritime Coastguard
        Agency (MCA), marking the highest level of endorsement for autonomous
        vessels.


        Fugro’s commitment to advancing technology for a secure and environmentally
        conscious world is underscored by this expansion. The Blue Essence® fleet, comprising
        12-meter vessels, is designed to operate fully remotely, providing unrestricted access to
        support marine projects situated further offshore. This not only enhances safety but
        also elevates environmental performance.
