What does it mean to run a survey with no one offshore?

Blue Essence and Blue Volta in North Sea 08.jpgCrewed vessels still do a great deal of offshore work, and they always will for the scopes that need them. What has changed is that they are no longer the only option. Some campaigns no longer justify the cost, the offshore hours, or the emissions of a full crewed mobilization.

Fugro now runs a hybrid fleet. Our uncrewed surface vessels acquire Geo-data at sea, and electric remotely operated vehicles launch from them to inspect assets below the surface. Our experts run all of it from remote operations centers onshore. Data streams to shore in near real time.

Join us for a practical look at how this works today. Our experts will show you the fleet, take you inside a remote operations center, and answer your questions live.

What you will learn

How the uncrewed fleet evolved, and where it stands today

Trace the path from first trials to purpose-built uncrewed platforms. See what the fleet does now across hydrography, geophysical survey, and subsea inspection.

How our onshore specialists support your campaign

Centralizing expertise onshore multiplies what a single team can cover. Learn how that changes resourcing, scheduling, and the speed of decisions on your project.

What a 24/7 remote operations center actually looks like

Take a video tour of a working center. Hear from a remote captain about running a vessel from a chair on shore.

The honest challenges, not just the highlights

Weather windows, regulation, launch and recovery, connectivity, latency, and crew certification. Our speakers address what still needs work and how they manage it.

Where remote and autonomous operations go next

Our speakers set out the direction of travel for uncrewed platforms and onshore delivery, and what it means for how you plan offshore campaigns.

Why you should join us

  • Fewer people exposed to offshore risk

Moving survey work onshore removes people from the hazards of the deck. Fewer offshore hours means a safer project and a smaller crew change burden.


  • Data you can act on sooner

Live streams to shore let our specialists check quality as data arrives. You review results in near real time and keep the project moving.


  • Up to 95% lower fuel use

Our uncrewed vessels cut fuel consumption by up to 95% against conventional survey vessels. Fewer mobilizations lower emissions further across a campaign.


  • A proven record, not a pilot

We have logged more than 1,600 days of uncrewed project operations and prevented over 1.5 million offshore exposure hours across eight centers worldwide. We were also the first commercial company the Maritime and Coastguard Agency recognized for remote operator training.
