The offshore wind farm off the country's west coast will be developed and realised by a consortium of RWE, Mitsui & Co. and Osaka Gas. Fugro's Geo-data will contribute to the detailed design of future turbine foundations and cable routes.
The fieldwork started in May 2024 and is being performed from Fugro jack-up platform, the Amberjack and two of Fugro's vessels the Equator and the Mariner. All are equipped with Fugro-owned geophysical, geotechnical and positioning systems, which will acquire Geo-data to enable the detailed design of turbine foundations and cable routes.
Jerry Paisley, Fugro's Regional Sales Director, said: "Fugro has been established in Japan for more than 30 years, and RWE is a key global client of ours. So, we're pleased that RWE, Mitsui & Co., and Osaka Gas have chosen us to deliver this important Japanese wind farm project, which will contribute to the country's commitment to expand offshore wind capacity as part of its goal to be carbon neutral by 2050."

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
