Team Humber signs Danish MOU

Team Humber Marine Alliance has signed a ‘memorandum of understanding’ with Denmark’s Offshoreenergy.dk.

The two are looking to foster closer offshore wind industry links, harness supply chain potential and wind farm projects in both countries and work closely together on trade missions.

THMA chief executive Mark O’Reilly said: “This is a long-term, win-win agreement. The British offshore wind market is rapidly emerging and needs expertise and skilled manpower in order to meet future demands.

“We want to tap into the expertise, knowledge and experience within Denmark’s offshore wind industry to help us develop to our full potential, allowing projects and supply chain businesses here on the Humber to thrive.”

Offshoreenergy.dk’s head of renewables Hans Pedersen said: “We consider Team Humber Marine Alliance to be the perfect partner for Danish companies – for the benefit of the industry in both countries.”

THMA has similar agreements with Windcluster Norway, and WAB, the German offshore wind energy organisation.

Team Humber Marine Alliance has a membership of more than 200 companies from around the Humber region in the offshore wind, renewables and marine sectors. Offshoreenergy.dk’s has about 270 members and is a national organisation.
