Paul Thomson, Sembmarine SLP’s Managing Director said:

“The offshore wind energy market in China is potentially vast, is in its infancy, and we therefor feel privileged to be invited to assist in its development. The success and longevity of all emerging markets is wholly dependent upon driving down costs, whilst adding value through quality and efficiency. We hope that we, with our new partners, can demonstrate how the experiences learned in the UK can be used to benefit projects in both China and Europe. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship between our two organisations.”
