Fugro UST21 has completed offshore geotechnical site investigations for Ørsted’s 1.4-gigawatt (GW) Incheon offshore wind project, located about 70 kilometres off the coast of Incheon, South Korea, the company said on Thursday.
The Incheon development is expected to become South Korea’s largest offshore wind farm, playing a key role in the country’s net-zero transition by 2050.
Fugro said the Geo-data collected from the site will be used to support the design of foundations and subsea cable routes across the entire project area. The company’s services included seabed cone penetration testing, downhole sampling, pressure metre testing, and laboratory analysis.
“We are proud to support Ørsted in launching South Korea’s largest offshore wind project,” said Robert Shapcott, General Manager of Fugro UST21. “Our work will provide the critical Geo-data needed to inform safe and efficient foundation design, helping Ørsted deliver on its sustainability commitments and local economic development goals.”
Ørsted’s site investigation project manager Kasper Mortensen thanked Fugro for its contribution, saying: “Their technical expertise and dedication to safety and quality, and careful consideration of all stakeholders, have played a vital role in the success of this campaign. We truly value their expertise and the professionalism they brought to the project.”
Fugro said the investigations, completed in early August 2025, form part of its ongoing collaboration with Ørsted to deliver high-quality Geo-data for major offshore wind developments across Asia.
The project supports South Korea’s growing push to expand renewable energy generation and strengthen its offshore wind industry as part of broader national climate goals.
