Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) acquired a 14.8% stake in Fugro to focus on offshore and (maritime) infrastructure.
"Fugro is an attractive company with activities that fit together well with those of Boskalis. For many years, we have worked together on numerous projects throughout the world and there are strong similarities in the working environment and culture,” says Peter Berdowski, Boskalis CEO. “We would like to speak and explore with the management of Fugro possibilities for cooperation. We support the recently realigned strategy of Fugro, and do not intend to make an offer."
