    Worldwide dependence on oil and gas has been in evidence ever since the Ukraine crisis started, casting doubt over the pace and the lengths the world is prepared to go to in order to embrace decarbonisation.

  • Comfort in Offshore Wind Working Conditions

    2 October 2017

    Europe is the leader of the growing market for the offshore wind energy. Most of the activities take place in the wet conditions of the North Sea.

While it is true that wet or sweat drenched PPE is not one of the main problems for offshore operators, many small issues can lead to bigger ones.
