Fugro Secures UXO Survey and Clearance Work for German Offshore Grid Links

Fugro has secured a contract from 50Hertz to carry out unexploded ordnance (UXO) survey, identification and clearance work for the LanWin3 and LanWin6 offshore grid connection projects in the German sector of the North Sea.

The work will help prepare cable routes for the installation of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables connecting offshore wind farms to Germany's electricity network.

The two grid connections will each have a transmission capacity of up to 2 GW, providing a combined capacity of 4 GW to deliver offshore wind power to the national grid.

Starting in the second quarter of 2027, Fugro will survey 200-meter-wide corridors along the LanWin3 and LanWin6 routes using two Geowing fixed magnetic gradiometer arrays, each equipped with ten magnetic sensors.
