Heerema Marine Contractors has extended its global framework agreement with Fugro for a further four years, continuing a successful collaboration that supports offshore decommissioning, transport and installation, and wind projects worldwide. Under the renewed agreement, Fugro will continue providing positioning and survey support for Heerema's fleet of heavy-lift vessels, helping project teams manage the complexity of offshore operations with greater accuracy and certainty.
As a world-leading marine contractor in the offshore energy industry, Heerema relies on Fugro's Geo-data to support its transport, installation, and removal of offshore structures, including oil and gas platforms and offshore wind foundations. These activities require precise positioning and continuous visibility of some of the world's largest offshore construction vessels and operations in often challenging offshore environments. By combining Geo-data, advanced technologies and operational expertise, Fugro helps Heerema maintain a clear understanding of asset location, movement and installation progress throughout each campaign.
From January 2027 through to December 2030, Fugro will use innovative technologies, such as remote operations, to support Heerema's offshore campaigns. Through its global network of remote operations centres, Fugro can provide real-time oversight of offshore activities while enhancing efficiency, safety and operational flexibility.
Thijs Prins, Fugro’s Service Line Director Marine Asset Integrity, said: "Successful offshore projects rely on accurate positioning, dependable Geo-data and close collaboration between project partners. Over the past four years, we have built a strong working relationship with Heerema and developed a deep understanding of their operational requirements. This framework extension creates further opportunities for closer collaboration on technology and innovation that support increasingly complex offshore campaigns."
