New survey vessel Fugro Americas completes maiden voyage
HOUSTON -- On June 11, 2015, Fugro’s premier geophysical survey vessel, the Fugro Americas, successfully completed data collection for a geochemical coring campaign in the Caribbean. The project marks the maiden voyage of the new-build vessel.
Mobilization for the campaign immediately followed the vessel’s departure from the construction shipyard in Louisiana in April.
Her stable design and experienced, dedicated crew enabled efficient and intelligent data collection to enhance survey results beyond expectations.
The integrated project comprised 141 piston cores and 7 heat flow measurements that yielded over 1,500 biological and geochemical samples.
