Under an extended memorandum of understanding (MoU), the companies will continue jointly supporting Vietnam’s oil & gas and offshore wind industries, combining Fugro’s marine site characterisation services and PTSC G&S’s local survey capabilities.

According to Fugro, the partners aim to meet Vietnam’s rising demand for geophysical, geotechnical and metocean data services in the country’s growing offshore wind industry.

The two companies, which first partnered in Vietnam in 2011, said their extended cooperation reflected both parties’ commitment to contributing to the country’s developing offshore wind industry and ambitious offshore wind targets. Under the 8th Power Development Plan (PDP8) from 2023, Vietnam plans to have approximately 6 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030, and between 70 GW and 91.5 GW by 2050.

The partnership extension follows a two-year extension agreement Fugro and PTSC G&S signed in early 2024.

Jerry Paisley, Fugro’s Regional Strategic Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Vietnam holds tremendous potential for offshore wind power and, after over a decade of working here with our local partner, PTSC G&S, we’re thrilled to be unlocking Geo-data insights to now help develop Vietnam’s offshore wind market.”
