On my journey to discover Fugro, my first stop was our AUV Centre of Excellence in Lafayette, Louisiana. What an incredible experience meeting our team and touring our geophysical operations. What impressed me the most was the passion and depth and breadth of their technical expertise.
It was fascinating learning about our AUVs. For those who aren't familiar, AUVs are autonomous underwater vehicles. The video below shows how the AUV launches off one of our survey vessels and all of its unique capabilities.
The highlight of my trip was to see the AUV (Echo Surveyor VII in the picture above) that was a part of the search for flight MH370 that disappeared into the Indian Ocean where no seabed maps were available. We were unable to find MH370 but we were able to highlight the importance of mapping the ocean ??floor and why programs such as Seabed 2030 and the UN Ocean Decade are so important to us. We are dedicated to these programs and using our AUV and multibeam technologies to provide a safe and liveable world.
