On 29 August 2023, Fugro announced that it had been awarded two geotechnical investigation contracts by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) for the development of the Dutch Nederwiek wind farm sites II & III (noord), which include the Nederwiek III offshore wind area. The contracts form part of the Dutch Government’s Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap 2030/31 and cover a total area of 600 km². Under the awards, Fugro will carry out large-scale seabed and subsurface Geo-data acquisition using advanced geotechnical vessels and technologies, providing comprehensive data sets to support preliminary engineering designs, future project tenders, and related studies such as power cable design, archaeology, and marine biology for the Nederwiek sites.
