Fugro conducts aerial and subaqueous surveys in Italy

Italy-based Fugro, partnered with the Compagnia Generale Ripreseaeree (CGR), has initiated sophisticated batimetric surveys in various Italian coastal areas, including Sicily and Calabria. The team has employed advanced sensors such as LiDAR and PhaseONE cameras to enhance the accuracy of marine ecosystem mapping. Challenges such as high turbidity levels due to winter weather conditions were acknowledged, affecting data collection effectiveness. The ongoing project aims to cover the entire Italian coastline by the end of 2025.
