Next Geosolutions (NextGeo), one of the leading international players in marine geoscience and offshore construction support services for the energy sector and listed on Euronext Growth Milan market, has been awarded a new contract by a leading international client operating in the subsea power cable sector, as part of a project relating to a subsea energy infrastructure located in the Central Mediterranean.

The operational phase will involve the deployment of several vessels engaged in both offshore and nearshore activities, carrying out multiple geophysical survey and pUXO Identification and Clearance (ID&C) survey operations on a number of identified targets. These activities will enable the precise identification of the nature of the detected anomalies and, where necessary, the execution of the appropriate clearance operations to ensure full safety during the subsequent infrastructure installation phases.

The total value of the contract, which will be developed in two separate phases, amounts to approximately €10 million. Completion of the operational activities is expected in the third quarter of 2026 and will continue to involve various specialized vessels for both offshore and nearshore operations.

Giovanni Ranieri, CEO of NextGeo, stated: “This award confirms NextGeo’s technical and operational expertise in managing complex survey campaigns, both in nearshore and offshore environments, and further strengthens our positioning in seabed and UXO survey services supporting strategic energy infrastructure projects across the EMEA region.”
