Fugro has commissioned its new remotely operated vehicle (ROV) test pool in Singapore. This strengthens the company’s in‑house capability to undertake controlled testing, verification and validation of equipment, systems and operational methodologies.
The test pool provides a controlled environment for functional testing, system integration, calibration and pre-deployment before field deployment across marine and offshore projects. This enables Fugro teams to identify and resolve technical issues early, validate performance against design requirements, and optimise procedures before mobilisation.

De-risking projects
By shifting critical testing activities in-house, the facility supports improved reliability, reduced offshore time and enhanced safety outcomes.
‘The commissioning of the ROV test pool significantly enhances our ability to technically de‑risk projects before they reach the field,’ says Mark Drury, General Manager, Fugro Singapore. ‘It allows our engineers and operators to test, integrate and validate systems under controlled conditions, ensuring equipment and workflows are fully proven and operationally ready before deployment.’
