This project aims to develop an innovative solution for precise seabed surveying at great depths.

The Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS) has awarded Fugro a new hydrographic survey contract for the 2023 MAREANO seabed mapping programme.

With the shared goal of unravelling the mysteries of the deep and enabling sustainable management practices, the partnership between Seabed 2030 and Ocean Census will greatly strengthen the future of ocean science and marine conservation.

Work is expected to complete in 2025, and the live platform will be continuously updated to reflect any new information and evidence.

For several of the metals, the mineral resources are sufficient to cover many years of global consumption.

The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has awarded contracts to the companies Fugro and Enviros for mapping of the shallowest strata under the seabed.

NTNU researchers from AMOS, the Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems, used small satellites and subsea robots — and everything in between — to study marine life in Svalbard’s Kongsfjorden in a first-ever experiment in May.

The data for the current study was mostly collected on expeditions with the research vessel METEOR.

Fugro’s field campaign will run from July until August

Energinet has just awarded survey assignments to two experienced marine survey companies, which are expected to set sail in the North Sea in May.

The new data equating to an area twice the size of Australia.
