Fugro has finalized the divestment of its non-core trenching and cable laying business to Global Marine Group (GMG).

GMG has acquired the business in exchange for an equity stake of around 24% in the combined business valued at USD 65 million, and a one year secured vendor loan of USD 7.5 million.
