Fugro has been awarded the geotechnical site investigation contract for the 600 MW FengMiao II Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), one of the developers under Taiwan’s Round 3.2 offshore wind tender. The FengMiao II OWF is a key project supporting Taiwan’s national target of achieving 13.1 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030. Fugro’s involvement in the project highlights its continued dedication to advancing the energy transition across the Asia Pacific region through innovation, sustainability, and strong local collaboration.

Fugro will deliver a comprehensive suite of geotechnical services to support the development of the FengMiao II OWF, located off the west coast of Taiwan. The award further strengthens Fugro’s role as a trusted partner in the global offshore wind industry and reaffirms the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting Taiwan’s renewable energy ambitions.

The offshore geotechnical investigation will be carried out using Fugro’s Taiwan-flagged vessel, Pacific Hornbill, which is equipped with the advanced C30 marine drilling rig. The vessel also features Fugro’s proprietary WISON® MkV EcoDrive downhole in situ testing and sampling tools, as well as specialized seabed geotechnical equipment, including the SEACALF® MkV Deep Drive® system, enabling the acquisition of high-quality geotechnical data in both seabed and downhole mode throughout the project. The geotechnical fieldwork campaign is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.

“We are honored to be selected by CIP to support the FengMiao II Offshore Wind Farm. This award demonstrates the trust CIP places in Fugro’s proven track record of delivering high‑value geo-data solutions to offshore wind clients in Taiwan since 2016,” said Safri Drahman, Regional Business Line Director Asia Pacific at Fugro.
