[edit] Controversies
In January 2009 the independent news service "Norwatch"[3] revealed seismic oil explorations offshore occupied Western Sahara, an area occupied by Morocco, by Fugro-Geoteam (a Norwegian daughter company of Fugro NV).
On April 1, 2011 a Fugro Aviation Canada Limited CASA C-212 (registration C-FDKM) carrying 3 crew crashed while attempting a landing at the airport in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. After declaring an emergency with an engine failure, the aircraft crashed on a Saskatoon street (Wanuskewin Drive) and hit a concrete sound barrier. One passenger, Laroslav Gorokhovski, was killed. The pilot and co-pilot were injured but survived.[4]
