Fugro has been awarded a site characterization contract for a wind farm development off the coast of the cities of Murakami and Tainai, Niigate Prefecture, Japan.

The offshore wind farm off the country’s west coast will be developed and realized by a consortium of RWE, Mitsui & Co. and Osaka Gas. Fugro’s geodata will contribute to the detailed design of future turbine foundations and cable routes.

The fieldwork started in May 2024 and is being performed from the Fugro jack-up platform 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 geodata to enable the detailed design of turbine foundations and cable routes.
