Fugro Orders Geophysical Survey Vessel27/12/2007 |
|
| Fugro has signed an agreement with ship designers and builders, Fr. Fassmer GMBH & Co. KG of Bremen (Germany), for the design and construction of a new geophysical survey vessel. It will be named the MV Fugro Searcher. | |
|
At 65 metres LOA and accommodation for 43 in en suite single and double cabins it will be a comfortable and spacious vessel on which to work. The design of the vessel will permit simultaneous analogue/digital survey operations and AUV operations. Geotechnical and ROVSV duties can also be undertaken.
Diesel-electric drive, specially designed hull form, resilient engine mounts and rudder propellers will maximise station keeping and navigational control while ensuring acoustically quiet running at survey speeds. The Fugro Searcher will be operated by Fugro Survey Limited of Aberdeen.
