Fugro EMU has been appointed to manage a network of wave buoys.
DONG Energy has selected Fugro EMU, part of Fugro’s Renewable Services Group, to procure, deploy, service and manage a network of real-time metocean data acquisition systems in support of DONG Energy’s European offshore wind programme. The buoys will be situated off the coasts of north-eastern Europe and will collect hydrodynamic data until 2020. For this project, Fugro EMU will deploy Fugro’s Seawatch MIDI 185 buoys. Suitable for measuring oceanographic and meteorological (metocean) parameters, these medium-sized, general-purpose monitoring buoys were first introduced in 2009.
