地理数据专家 Fugro 在中东推出了 Blue Shadow 级无人水面舰艇 (USV)，以满足由于基础设施发展、港口扩建和沿海管理举措而对准确水文数据日益增长的需求
“蓝影”号利用最先进的导航和测量技术，有效收集水深、海底形态等重要数据，支持中东蓝色经济的发展，同时帮助了解和保护脆弱的海洋生态系统。它可以在现有海上结构附近进行无干扰的水文测量，从而实现高效的水文测量，缩短项目时间并提供速度和准确性。
为了到 2035 年实现净零排放，辉固在其调查中纳入了更多远程作业，因为这比传统船舶作业减少了 90% 的碳排放，同时减少了人类暴露在危险环境中的机会。
中东和印度海洋场地特征区域总监路易斯·伯纳德 ( Louis Burnard)表示：“该地区船队的增加标志着辉固致力于利用技术打造安全宜居的世界。随着蓝影号在我们的水域航行，我们不仅仅是在绘制海底地图，我们还在为我们地区更安全、更高效的海上航行开辟一条道路。”

Geo-data specialist Fugro has launched its Blue Shadow class uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in the Middle East, to address the growing demand for accurate hydrographic data due to infrastructure development, port expansion and coastal management initiatives
Using state-of-the-art navigation and surveying technology, the Blue Shadow efficiently collects vital data such as water depth and seafloor morphology, supporting the development of the blue economy in the Middle East while also aiding in understanding and protecting the delicate marine ecosystem. It enables non-disruptive hydrographic surveys near existing offshore structures, resulting in efficient hydrographic surveys, reducing project timelines and providing speed and accuracy.
With the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2035, Fugro is including more remote operations in its surveys, given that this contributes up to 90% less carbon emissions than traditional vessel operations while reducing human exposure to hazardous environments.
Louis Burnard, regional director of Marine Site Characterisation Middle East and India, said, “This addition to the region’s fleet marks Fugro’s commitment to leveraging technology for a safe and liveable world. With the Blue Shadow navigating our waters, we're not just mapping the seabed, we're forging a path for safer, more efficient maritime navigation in our region."
