Fugro to Conduct Hydrographic Surveys in Papua New Guinea

Fugro has been awarded a total of six contracts by the National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA) to provide hydrographic surveys in Papua New Guinea .

The surveys will be conducted utilizing a combination of Fugro’s airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB) and multibeam echo sounder (MBES) sensors.

In deeper waters the surveys will be performed by a vessel and Fugro will also conduct a comprehensive tides campaign throughout the survey area.

The contracts are part of the Asian Development Bank-funded Maritime Waterways Safety Project that aims to improve the safety and efficiency of the country’s international and national shipping in coastal areas and waterways.

The project is expected to contribute to capacity development in the country, which has over 5,000 kilometers of coastline.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
