Fugro UST21 has successfully concluded offshore geotechnical site investigations for Ørsted’s ambitious 1.4 GW Incheon offshore wind project, which took place in early August 2025. Situated around 70 kilometers off the coast of Incheon, South Korea, this initiative is poised to become the largest offshore wind farm in the nation. The project is a crucial component of South Korea's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, reflecting the country's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. The investigations conducted by Fugro are essential for assessing the seabed conditions and ensuring the project's viability, thereby contributing to the broader goal of transitioning to renewable energy sources.
