Safer, greener, smarter: Jan De Nul’s uncrewed survey fleet

Survey is the foundation on which every marine and offshore construction project is built. For decades, collecting that data meant putting people in small vessels in all weather, sometimes in genuinely hazardous conditions. At Jan De Nul, that is changing. Over the past four years, the Survey and Environmental Department has made a deliberate shift towards unmanned and robotic platforms and the results speak for themselves across three dimensions: safety, operational efficiency and environmental impact.
