Appealing to GMG readers for help with this comment:
A red Fugro vessel heading in the direction of Boston was moving slowly on the horizon past Gloucester this morning. It was well beyond camera phone range. A GMG reader described seeing “lots of phased array radars which caught my attention. Usually only on military ships. The logo was large enough to read with a scope. Best guess is that it was similar to the photo attached from the Fugro website. Do they pass this way frequently?”
“We are the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, collecting and analysing comprehensive information about the Earth and the structures built upon it.”- Fugro
According to the company website, Fugro provides expertise in different industries including off shore services and science. (For example its seawatch wind LiDAR buoys meaure wind speeds for proposed wind projects.) The website mentions “10,000 employees in 65 countries”. Offices in Houston and Norfolk coordinated prior work in MA. See the December 1 2017 Press release related to Cape Cod job here
