The contract, confirmed at Oceanology International in London, positions Kongsberg Discovery as a key supplier of advanced hydroacoustic and positioning technologies across Fugro’s global fleet, including the company’s expanding portfolio of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs).

Fugro is widely recognised as the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, delivering insights that support energy production, the energy transition, large-scale infrastructure development and climate resilience. Its operations span offshore and onshore environments worldwide, with increasing emphasis on sustainable survey solutions and remote operations.
