Fugro has won a site characterisation contract for a wind farm development off the coast of the Japanese cities of Murakami and Tainai, Niigate Prefecture, Japan.
The offshore wind farm off the country’s west coast will be developed 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 the 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.
