“ergon , fugro and qut are all essential participants of the crcsi and it is very pleasing to see the practical application of our research realising substantial savings , productivity gains and export potential for our partners” said peter woodgate , ceo .
in the context of this objective it is the aim of the foundation to contribute to the stability and the controlled growth of the fugro group for purpose of the creation of long term shareholder value in the interest of all its stakeholders .
the chairman of the awarding foundation , mr . wellink ( former president of the central bank of the netherlands ) , highlighted fugro’s global presence , ability to operate in frontier areas and the successful expansion strategy and focus on innovation and hse .
in 2007 fugro combines several existing onshore survey and positioning activities to form ‘geospatial services’ to which the newly acquired businesses of earthdata ( us ) and maps geosystems ( uae ) are added . a number of other acquisitions are completed in 2007 .
fugro’s market leadership is predicated on being an independent services provider . fugro provides geo - intelligence and asset integrity solutions . data , information and advice regarding natural resource development and sites for construction of large buildings , industrial plants and infrastructure are vital to costing , design and risk mitigation during the development phase and to mitigate development risk . as independent service provider , we have no conflict of interest with respect to other parties involved in clients’ projects and results are provided impartially and confidentially .
in 2017 , fugro generated 43 % of its revenue from non - oil and gas related markets , up from 34 % in 2016 . the majority of the shift is attributable to a 9 % currency comparable organic growth in the markets outside oil and gas ; the other part is due to the reduction of our oil and gas activities resulting from the downturn . following good growth in its markets outside oil and gas in 2017 , fugro will strive for further growth in 2018 .

fugro is constantly adjusting its organisation to better support its clients in managing their projects and operation of their assets in a sustainable , smart and cost effective way . globalisation has been driving the demand for standardisation and increasing project complexity and cost reductions measures at clients driving demand for large , integrated projects . these demands could not be met with the local operating company model . over the past years , fugro has transformed to a centrally coordinated , regionally organised company that operates site characterisation and asset integrity business lines within both a marine division and a land division . clients’ reactions on the new organisational set - up have been positive , as it has strengthened fugro’s ability to more effectively provide standardised and integrated geo - intelligence and asset integrity solutions .
rocis combines the operational oceanographic , geospatial , and aerial survey skills of fugro with the advanced image processing and remote sensing expertise of areté associates to provide high resolution surface current mapping over large offshore areas on a near real - time and synoptic basis .
mr . yilmaz has developed , executed , and supervised numerous field exploration programs for a wide variety of projects using hollow stem auger and rotary wash drilling methods , wireline sampling and coring techniques utilizing truck , atv , buggy and skid - mounted cme ( 55 , 75 and 750 ) , failing 250 and 1500s and mayhew 200 drill rigs . fugro’s equipment is capable of drilling to depths in excess of 500 feet and the fugro exploration fleet is extensive and is usually adequate to accommodate any exploration program or completion schedule .
fugro is actively seeking to grow in the building and infrastructure , renewables , power , nautical and mining markets . in these markets we provide essential services that support our purpose by contributing to solutions to support a world with a growing , increasingly more affluent population and to mitigate the impact of climate change . in addition , it is desirable to have exposure across multiple markets that run in different cycles and to be active across the different phases of these markets to improve the overall sustainability of fugro and the robustness of our performance .
at the 2015 review one ship was added to the site . who knows how many ships fugro have since they have not chosen to publish a fleet list . the seem to have four vessels on order in different parts of the world . reviewed 18th november 2015 .
in the offshore market , fugro is global market leader in providing marine site characterisation services . we are particularly strong in frontier environments such as deep water . market shares are high as we are an independent service provider and with our organisation , people and assets we can take on large , integrated projects ; leverage our global footprint ; and provide the full range of acquisition , analytics and advisory services . in the marine asset integrity space , fugro holds strong regional positions in asia - pacific and europe . on land , based on the same capabilities as in marine , fugro is market leader in site characterisation on a regional and local basis , and in our ability to provide integrated services to globally operating clients anywhere in the world . in asset integrity we have leadership positions in specific market segments in selected countries .
the company reviewed its portfolio based on the scope of the new business lines and divisions and the current difficult oil and gas services market , and has decided to retain the inspection , repair and maintenance services across the subsea services division to integrate into the new asset integrity business line within the marine division . for installation and construction activities fugro will continue to pursue partnerships or divestment , as these do not fit its strategy of providing asset integrity solutions . it will retain the drilling / well intervention vessel fugro synergy , but optimise it for geotechnical operations .
the foundation is independent and the ownership and control of the foundation is not vested with any other party . the board of the foundation is composed of five members , while only one individual member of the board had ( in the past ) ties with fugro n . v .
fugro operates a fleet of specialised multipurpose survey vessels equipped with state - of - the - art survey spreads . we continue to invest and expand our already extensive survey vessel fleet with world - class dedicated , specialised vessels to meet demands in the deepwater , coastal and renewables markets .
digitalisation is becoming increasingly important as part of technology development and innovation . clients are starting to embrace digital solutions to increase efficiency and reduce overall cost of development and operations . for fugro it creates the opportunity to enhance delivery excellence by developing and offering client project deliverables in fully digital form . fugro is spending a significant part of its development budget to support this trend . examples are our cloud based , fully digital asset management solutions for roads , railways and power networks and solutions to provide remote operations offshore . also internally we are benefiting from digitalisation of our processes .
fugro operates many ships carrying out a variety of support services to the offshore oil industry . they don ' t really fit into the categories usually featured on this site , but they are never - the - less interesting so they are presented her as photos with comments where possible .
from our formal inception in february 2013 as a seabed geophysics joint venture between fugro ( 60 % ) and cgg ( 40 % ) , seabed geosolutions has been the worldwide leader in offering best - in - class ocean bottom seismic ( obs ) solutions to the oil and gas industry .
to further improve the organisation , fugro is merging local entities into country organisations . this simplifies the organisation by reducing the number of legal entities . in 2017 , good progress was made and 50 legal entities were closed . in parallel , support functions are being merged into shared service centers , resulting in cost efficiencies and an improved service delivery . shared service centres are now in operation in fugro’s largest hubs in the usa , eu , middle east , asia and australia . rationalisation of the legal entity structure and implementation of the shared service centers will be largely finalised in 2018 .
“the object of the foundation is to protect and promote the interests of fugro consultants international n . v . and fugro financial international n . v . , with statutory seat at cura ç ao , hereinafter respectively “fci” and “ffi” , as well as the interests of fugro n . v . with statutory seat at leidschendam , hereinafter the “company” , as well as of the business that is conducted by the company and by the companies that form a group with the company , and this to the extent that the interests of the company and of such business and all those concerned , are protected and secured as much as possible , while any influence which may threat the independence , continuity and / or identity of the company and such business , will be held off to the maximum possible , including any other act that may relate to or be conducive to the foregoing . ”
dutch multinational fugro purchased this technology in 2014 . today roames continues to help us save millions annually in vegetation management . it contributes to a more reliable electricity supply , creates a safer working environment for crews , and helps get the lights back on to communities more quickly after a natural disaster .
as part of forming the new divisions , fugro is merging operating companies into country organisations . this supports organisational and legal entity simplification by reducing the number of legal entities and consolidation of support functions into shared service centres . this is resulting in cost efficiencies and improves the quality of internal processes .
in the press release from the rotterdam school of management , erasmus university , the following is stated : “a strength of fugro is recognising synergy in innovations” , according to the jury . “a good example is a highly accurate gps based positioning system that was developed as a sideline , but is now applied in almost all projects due to the effectiveness and efficiency of this system . though this system forms the basis for all these developments , the application in projects is often quite specific and different . ” in addition fugro works extensively with external parties on fundamental research and the innovations are strongly client focused .
an unusually short lifespan might indicate that your fugro ancestors lived in harsh conditions . a short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family . the ssdi is a searchable database of more than 70 million names . you can find birthdates , death dates , addresses and more .
fugro is being recognised for its integrated 3d iceberg mapping technique , which defines complex iceberg properties using high precision subsea imaging systems and above - water imaging techniques . the approach and technology is integral to future ice engineering , as well as ongoing ice management and risk mitigation measures for fixed and mobile platforms in arctic settings . the other award is for fugro ' s geosar sea ice mapping system which is mounted on a gulfstream ii jet aircraft . acquiring sea ice data over very large areas , the system produces sea ice mapping deliverables enabling the mitigation of high risk ice floes from fixed locations in the arctic .
the spotlight awards will be presented at atc on monday , 10th february at the george r . brown convention center in houston , texas . additional activities for fugro at atc include participation in the ' ' arctic past projects ' ' panel discussion , a technical presentation and a booth in the exhibit hall .
wavewalker 1 , developed by fugro and van oord , is an innovative , eight - legged ' walking ' jack - up barge ( self - elevating work platform - sewp ) designed especially for marine operations in rough seas , surf zones , beaches and other intertidal locations where operation of traditional sewps is uneconomic .
fugro’s short term strategic objective is to restore profitability and returns in a stabilising oil and gas market following years of sharp decline , as a key step towards achieving our mid - term financial targets . at the same time we target continued growth in the building and infrastructure , renewables , power and nautical markets .
the uncontrolled detonation of unexploded ordnance ( uxo ) is still a present - day risk in coastal and offshore marine environments . as part of uxo risk management , an appropriate geophysical survey is required to assess and mitigate risks . the fugro geowing has been designed to collect high resolution magnetic data for uxo surveys .
the company is being recognised for its integrated 3d iceberg mapping technique , which defines complex iceberg properties using high precision subsea imaging systems and above - water imaging techniques . the other award is for fugro’s geosar sea ice mapping system which is mounted on an aircraft to acquire sea ice data over very large areas .
fugro geos developed a special software package that they call rovadcp to integrate the current velocities measured as the rov descended in the water column . real - time data was made available to the drillship for the full water column . this data , which can be used alone or combined with data from stationary adcps ( using fugro geos’ rigadcp software ) , provides the information needed to safely manage the drilling operation in an area of current activity . full coverage is especially critical in deep water , where hydrodynamics have an even greater impact on operations ( due to increased depth ) and the ocean conditions are more variable and less predictable .
our vessels can operate independently in remote regions around the world and are able to deploy the full suite of fugro speciality in - situ testing and sampling equipment . most of our vessels allow integrated investigation methods , including seabed and downhole in - situ testing and sampling , to be deployed during a single site investigation programme .
the company’s cost reduction and performance improvement measures have resulted in a reduction in head count of 1 , 430 employees in 2016 . third party expenses related to vessel charters , subcontractors and other operational costs were reduced by 27 . 0 per cent . fugro’s active fleet was reduced by five vessels . capital expenditure was also reduced .
northstar™ integrates all of these data and presents them in a single , intuitive interface . attuned to specific facilities and conditions , and benefiting from fugro ' s extensive in - house expertise and resources , northstar™ offers a unique and reliable asset - wide overview that contributes to the improved management of facilities , efficiency optimisation and contingency planning .
fugro says it expects a further significant decline in revenue in the first half of 2017 , although it believes the decline will be less severe than in 2016 , with ongoing margin pressure . it believes its revenue decline will bottom out towards the latter part of the year and it will have positive cash flow for the full year .
the researchers prof . dr . justin jansen , prof . dr . henk volberda , prof . dr . frans van den bosch and dr . michiel tempelaar of the rotterdam school of management , erasmus university stated “fugro demonstrates that management , organisational and working environment aspects and cooperation with external parties contribute to sustainable renewal of the organisation . ”
we continue to be open to reducing our stake in seabed geosolutions or enter into an extended partnership . seabed geosolutions expects to benefit from a growing seabed geophysical market focused on oil and gas development and production , its new manta data acquisition system and the synergies with fugro’s marine division regarding the efficient deployment of nodes using remotely operated vehicles .
a short term target is to improve employee engagement . we acknowledge that this is a challenge in a period that fugro has been restructuring vigorously to deal with the oil and gas downturn . since the start of 2015 fugro has had to let go of around 3 , 500 employees or 25 % of the total work force . in addition , the organisational transformation we have undertaken has meant significant change for a lot of people , even if the need for change has been widely appreciated and supported and people recognise it is creating good opportunities . we are addressing employee engagement vigourously , with groupwide communication supported by new group wide collaboration tools . in 2018 we will hold a group wide engagement survey .
fugro geos has previously extended the water current profiling ranges by employing two 75khz adcps . one was suspended below the drillship , to cover the top 450m of the water column . the second was mounted on the blow - out preventer on the ocean floor , looking upward , to monitor currents near the bottom . this double configuration has given good data for shallower wells .
mr . yilmaz has lead the development and growth of fugro’s drilling and subsurface exploration capabilities , sampling methods , and qualifications which now include soil drilling and sampling , rock coring , angle drilling , low - clearance drilling , groundwater sampling , piezometer installations , inclinometer installations , environmental soil sampling , environmental gas sampling , monitor well installations , development and sampling and recovery well installations .
fugro undertook detailed ground investigations of superficial deposits and bedrock along a 46 - kilometre section of the a9 between pass of birnam and glen garry , with a requirement to work sensitively in an area of outstanding environmental value . the scope included exploratory holes in soil and rock , in situ testing , high quality sampling , installation of instrumentation , laboratory testing , post site monitoring and factual reporting .
the seadevil is an innovative offshore geotechnical tool offered as part of fugro ' s comprehensive suite of vessel - based and seafloor drilling and in situ investigation tools . the seadevil vertical control system ( vcs ) improves data quality when drilling soft and highly variable formations and reduces the duration of projects that require multiple site investigation methods , such as drilling or intrusion via direct push or free fall .
global navigation satellite system ( gnss ) based precise point positioning ( ppp ) has become the de facto standard for precise real - time offshore positioning applications . current precision is of the order of 3−5 cm horizontally and twice this value for the vertical . however , this may not yet be good enough for tidal applications . in this contribution we will discuss new developments at fugro , . . .

“challenging oil and gas market” has somewhat become an inevitable reference point in financial reports of companies working in the offshore energy sector . still , those involved in the offshore wind market usually have positive figures to report . this is also the case with fugro , whose revenue declined by 20 . 4 % in q3 2016 due to the oil and gas downturn , but offshore wind market stayed strong and brought work on two projects outside of europe .
implementation of cost reduction and performance improvement measures as required by market conditions is underway . this includes the ongoing restructuring , which is ahead of plan with 1 , 120 employees laid off in the year - to - date and active fleet reduced by 5 vessels with more reductions to be made as needed by the end of the year . in its financial results for 2015 , fugro reported it had reduced its workforce by 1 , 577 people .
fugro geos had a problem : their client bhp was about to drill the second - deepest well in the world , on the walker ridge block in the gulf of mexico . the well was located at a depth of 2680m ( 8800 feet ) in an area where water currents could threaten the marine riser . traditional adcp ( acoustic doppler current profiler ) current measurement equipment could only reach up a little over 1000 meters in good conditions . what to do ?
fugro’s chief executive paul van riel said : “the downturn in our largest market , oil and gas services , continued unabated in 2016 . we had to take the painful decision to cut yet more staff positions . we reduced capacity and cost and at the same time we succeeded in strengthening our market positions . this could not , however , offset increased price pressure . our focus on cash flow again paid off . we generated substantial cash flow resulting in a significant reduction of net debt .
rocis - the remote ocean current imaging system - is an aerial survey payload developed by fugro and areté associates to measure surface ocean currents . this oceanographic measurement tool provides near real - time synoptic surface current data over a wide operational area , while retaining the ability to assess smaller scale current features of interest . the data can be used in combination with satellite , numerical models and in situ measurements , offering better understanding of offshore current features and enhancing operational planning . rocis current data can also support the calibration and validation of predictive forecast models .
in 1981 , mr . yilmaz began his career at fugro gulf , inc . as a staff engineer and quickly progressed to supervisory engineer . his responsibilities included coordination of cpt field activities and interpretation of results . he worked on the design of embankments , slope stability analysis and supervised construction of evaporation ponds ; geotechnical investigation for proposed onne fertilizer plant in nigeria ; growth faults and geotechnical investigation for major industrial complexes in houston ; developed computer programs and plot routines to minimize labor requirements . mr . yilmaz also worked on the design of various foundation types related to onshore and offshore structures .
the method makes use of information contained in engineering drawings of the structure to track and calculate its position and orientation in real time from a live video stream . one or more cameras are used to create a wide angle view across the structure from the deck of the installation vessel . each camera is equipped with a motion sensor that compensates for vessel motion . the position , heading , and pitch & roll of the monopile or jacket is accurately calculated in real time using advanced vision - based technology . the data is integrated , processed and reported in fugro’s starfix . ng software , enabling continuous hands - off operation through the placement .

the first point to consider is how much of the company’s cash is available to invest , declare as dividends etc . and how much needs to be retained in the company to pay the various liabilities as they fall due . it would be wise to only consider the retained profits of the company and not the actual cash in the bank due to the fact that there is normally cash accumulating in the company account to pay vat and paye on a quarterly basis and corporation tax on an annual basis ( normally 9 months after the company’s year end ) .

richard nixon ( 1913 - 94 ) , the 37th u . s . president , is best remembered as the only president ever to resign from office . nixon stepped down in 1974 , halfway through his second term , rather than face impeachment over his efforts to cover up illegal activities by members of his administration in the watergate scandal . a former republican congressman and u . s . senator from california , he served two terms as vice president under dwight eisenhower ( 1890 - 1969 ) in the 1950s . in 1960 , nixon lost his bid for the presidency in a close race with democrat john f . kennedy ( 1917 - 63 ) . he ran for the white house again in 1968 and won . as president , nixon’s achievements included forging diplomatic ties with china and the soviet union , and withdrawing u . s . troops from an unpopular war in vietnam . however , nixon’s involvement in watergate tarnished his legacy and deepened american cynicism about government .
