In today's extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Fugro, the appointment of Mr. J. Rüegg as a member of the Board of Management was approved.
Mr. Rüegg, who has Swiss nationality and was born in 1944, has joined Fugro in 1994. He has managed the Offshore Survey activities since 1999 and has made a large contribution to the growth of Fugro's Survey division over the years.
