FUGRO OSAE offers positioning services to sea-going vessels as well as submarine structures, vehicles and instruments via satellite, acoustic or optical means.

Our GPS systems are available for all requirements, ranging from uncorrected GPS positions to real-time kinematic differential GPS with established Fugro reference stations. The positioning of underwater equipment, e.g. towed sidescans, magnetometers or ROVs, can be realized at any depth with FUGRO OSAE's USBL (ultra-short baseline) systems.

FUGRO OSAE’s services include the positioning of:

• Surface vessels
• Submarine vehicles (e.g. ROVs and AUVs)
• Towed equipment
• Coring equipment
• Cables (including cable laying)
• Pipes (including pipe laying)
• Dredging

FUGRO OSAE employs sophisticated procedures and positioning equipment best suited to our clients’ requirements to ensure that accurate positioning is achieved. This is supported by well trained and highly experienced company-employed staff. Fugro's positioning business involves the development and operation of satellite based position and tracking systems and the provision of related services worldwide.

Accurate real-time positioning is a crucial element of many of Fugro’s services in the fields of survey, geoscience and geotechnics. For this reason, Fugro maintains a world-wide GPS augmentation infrastructure and offers a range of positioning services for both company-wide operations and third party use.
