Coastal countries look to the United Nations Convention on the Law Of the Sea (UNCLOS) as the basis for the international jurisdiction of their ocean territory. UNCLOS endows rights for adjacent marine resources of the seabed and overlying waters; responsibility for environmental sustainability, including living resources and pollution; and a regime for winning extended territorial claims beyond the traditional 200-nautical-mile EEZ.

Fugro Pelagos' experience embodies more than 50 years in hydrography, geophysics, geology and geodesy. The company offers a range of products and services: EEZ mapping, environmental and met-ocean surveys, worldwide Differential GPS (DGPS) services and Vessel Tracking System (VTS) products and services with integrated control center and monitoring software, all in support of UNCLOS claims.

The company has carried out over 100,000 km of transoceanic surveys in recent years. Over half of this has been to full ocean depth, which is essential for UNCLOS surveying.

A proven purpose-built full-ocean-depth survey vessel with the latest in global navigation, swath bathymetric and 2D seismic systems has been integrated with the strength of our worldwide marine survey organization into an impressive cost-effective solution for UNCLOS surveying.
