Q1 Results Show COVID-19 Impact, Renewables to Power Revenue Growth
For the Americas region, Fugro reported backlog increase due to increasing work in offshore wind on the East Coast of the U.S. and marine asset integrity activities in the country, as well as the ROV support vessel contract work in Brazil.
In the company’s global Marine business segment, backlog declined slightly as an increase in site characterisation caused by growth in offshore wind was offset by a decline in asset integrity, which is more exposed to the oil and gas market, according to the company.
Fugro reported a revenue decline of 17.2 per cent in the first quarter of this year, fully driven by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a strong related decline in oil and gas activities, partly offset by revenue growth in other market segments.

At a port on the Delaware River in southern New Jersey, construction workers are busy pouring a concrete foundation larger than a football field. By the end of the year, it will support a factory unlike anything ever built in the United States. The factory’s purpose: to turn sheets of steel from the heartland into columns that will underpin a colossal new tool in the fight against climate change
PROVIDENCE The owner of the first offshore wind farm in the nation is set to build an assembly facility at the Port of Providence to support the development of much bigger projects that would supply power to Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.
Orsted, the global leader in offshore wind development and operator of the five-turbine Block Island Wind Farm, joined on Wednesday with its partner Eversource to announce construction of the facility that will fabricate and assemble foundation platforms for what could amount to more than 100 wind turbines.
The platforms are critical components for the proposed wind farms. They would be mounted on foundations secured to the ocean floor and wind turbines would be installed on top of them.
