Fugro secures hydrographic Baltic Sea and Bothnian Survey
Fugro OSAE GmbH (Bremen, Germany) has been awarded an allocation of the Baltic Sea and Bothnian Survey for the years 2012-13, consisting of a 7,100km² segment worth EUR 2.1 million, the Company press release said.
Data acquisition will be accomplished by Fugro vessels, two of which, M.V. Meridian and M.V. Victor Hensen, have already done survey work on the previous year's allocation of Baltic and Bothnian surveys. With water depths up to 300m, the survey will be undertaken following the Swedish and Finnish adaptation of the IHO Standards for Hydrographic Survey, S-44, namely FSIS-44.
The Baltic and Bothnian survey projects are co-managed by the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Finnish Transport Agency. These projects form a part of the EU-financed MONALISA (‘Motor-ways of the seas’) Project which aims to achieve efficient, safe and environmentally responsible maritime transport.

The company is located in Bremen, Germany and has been in business since 1983. FUGRO OSAE has developed an excellent reputation both in and outside of Germany as one of the major, internationally-operating survey companies in the field of marine surveying.
