CEO message

In 2023, we made great progress in delivering on our Path to Profitable Growth strategy and related mid-term targets. By capturing high client demand in the energy markets, we realised a major step-up in our results.

Over the past years, we have created a solid foundation that puts us in a prime position to seize the compelling opportunities in our markets, resulting from an ever-increasing need for Geo-data insights. We are ready for the next chapter of our journey, as reflected in our new strategy Towards Full Potential, which we launched in November.

case 01
Cases
Mapping Norway’s coastal waters
Since 2006, we have been a vital contributor to the Mareano programme, focused on comprehensive marine and coastal mapping in Norway. Fugro’s survey progress, including interim and final deliverables, is accessible to the client via VirGeo®, Fugro's web-based Geo-data engagement platform, providing near real-time deliverables to the client and related third parties, connected to analytics applications.
case 02
Cases
Development of renewable energy infrastructure
Since 2021, we have been supporting the Danish transmission system operator Energinet with site investigation activities for a complete new energy infrastructure, including a revolutionary Energy Island, which will serve as a green power hub. We are delivering services across the project cycle, and this long-term engagement will run until 2026.
case 03
Cases
Providing vital solutions for land reclamation
To sustain population and economic growth in Hong Kong, the government is developing the Kau Yi Chau artificial islands providing about 1,000 hectares of additional land, strategically located within the expanded harbour metropolis. The government commissioned Fugro to carry out a site investigation in 2021 for the reclamation study. Since then, we have been providing various site investigation solutions and related laboratory testing, and the engagement will run until early 2024.
case 04
Cases
Green energy hub on the German coast
We successfully delivered a ground model for TES’ green energy hub in Wilhelmshaven. For this combined nearshore-onshore-consulting project, we deployed our innovative 3D subsurface scanning technology SWANS ™. This new approach to site investigations is non-invasive, quicker than traditional technologies and scaleable. Combined with machine learning, it was used to maximise accuracy and meet strict deadlines, constrained by the nesting period of migrating birds.
case 05
Cases
Keeping Florida’s coastal communities and infrastructure safe and resilient
Fugro has been selected by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to map its Atlantic coastal waters as part of a multi-year programme to bolster coastal resilience. Fugro’s Geo-data will help inform critical climate adaptation strategies, including infrastructure development and maintenance, habitat mapping, environmental restoration, emergency response and coastal hazard studies.
case 06
Cases
Real-time access to Geo-data with Fugro’s VirGeo® platform
We’re working with Invenergy to expedite the delivery of an integrated site characterisation programme for their Leading Light Wind offshore wind project development in the New York Bight, through on-demand access to our offshore wind consultants, along with real-time access to Geo-data through the VirGeo® platform.
