Fugro positioning for DeepOcean Group vessels
DeepOcean Group, the Norwegian subsea organisation recently awarded a five-year contract by BG Group for ROV-based inspection, maintenance and repair work covering UK and Norwegian assets in the North Sea, has in turn appointed Fugro for provision of precise satellite positioning for its entire worldwide fleet of 18 vessels.
Under the three-year agreement, Fugro will provide three completely independent decimetre global navigation satellite solutions while also supplying its latest Starfix G2+ service which is capable of producing a 3D accuracy approaching that of GNSS RTK (real-time kinematic) systems; also available will be the company’s Starfix G4 correction service. DeepOcean’s fleet will additionally be equipped with support hardware and software for provision of independent positioning solutions aboard each vessel.
