Dutch geo-data specialist Fugro has bagged a three-year inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) contract from Seamec to support the latter’s asset management project for India‘s state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) off the west coast of India.

Under the contract, Fugro will provide its remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services for Seamec starting from mid-June, with the option of a two-year extension.
