M.V. Fugro Discovery was purpose-built for the Norwegian Navy and has been converted to provide multi-role survey capabilities. With permanently mobilised geophysical and hydrographical survey spreads, the vessel is ready for rapid deployment to survey locations worldwide.

Since being built in 1997 it has been maintained to the high standards demanded by the navy and provides clients with a reliable and well-appointed survey vessel whose multi-role capabilities include ROV inspection, pipeline and cable route surveys, high resolution seismic acquisition surveys, geotechnical surveys and environmental surveys.

The vessel is fitted with an auto positioning system, a full suite of modern analogue and digital geophysical equipment and a comprehensive range of deck equipment which includes a 16 tonne A frame.

The design of the vessel permits simultaneous analogue/digital survey operations and ensures suitability for geotechnical and environmental duties. At 70m LOA the M.V. Fugro Discovery has accommodation for 24 in single and double en-suite cabins and is a comfortable and spacious vessel on which to work.

Clients in the oil and gas industry, the cable sector and government agencies utilise the M.V. Fugro Discovery to obtain high resolution data for permitting, planning, design activities and engineering.

M.V. Fugro Equator, operated by Fugro Survey Pte Ltd, is built to the highest standards demanded of a dedicated survey vessel capable of international deployment. The specially designed hull, diesel electric drive and rudder propellers, maximises fuel efficiency, navigational control and station keeping capabilities. Great attention was paid to minimising conducted vibration from vessel mounted machinery and infrastructure. The result is an acoustically quiet platform, enabling high quality data collection.

Permanently installed equipment includes the latest in digital seismic, seabed and sub seabed mapping systems. Acoustic positioning is provided by a through hull USBL system. Surface positioning is Fugro Starfix® high precision, GNSS. All acquisition, navigation, processing, charting and reporting systems are networked and integrated through industrial grade servers.

The vessel can carry out a full range of offshore survey services from simultaneous analogue/digital site surveys through to route surveys. In addition, a Fugro owned AUV system can easily be mobilised on the vessel without affecting other survey capabilities. ROV Inspection and more complex Geotechnical spreads can be mobilised as required.

En-suite single and double cabin accommodation for 42 and 65 metres LOA makes the M.V. Fugro Equator a very comfortable and spacious environment to work in.
