Fugro has secured a contract for the 700 MW Youde offshore wind farm, awarded by Shinfox Energy as part of Taiwan’s Round 3.2 offshore wind tender. The company will provide geotechnical services to support project development off Taiwan’s west coast.
The work is being carried out using the *Pacific Hornbill*, a Taiwan-flagged DP2 vessel managed by IOVTEC. The vessel is equipped with a C30 marine geotechnical drilling rig and Fugro’s WISON MkV EcoDrive downhole testing and sampling system. It also features specialised seabed equipment, including the SEACALF MkV Deep Drive, to gather geotechnical data in both seabed and downhole modes.
The fieldwork campaign is already under way and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
