Our corporate language is British English. This implies, among other things, that:

— The letter ‘u’ is consistently used in words like ‘favour’ and ‘colour’, which lack ‘u’ in American English.

Fulfilling the vision of a fossil-free future requires several steps to be taken,
challenges to be solved, and solutions to be devised. And while we are already
miles ahead in bridging today’s and tomorrow’s energy technologies, our experi-
enced team of experts in offshore engineering are commited to playing their part
in solving whichever challenges still lie ahead of the global energy sector – at sea.

While many people keep their eyes fixed on the finish line of the global energy transition, we
focus on the journey. On contributing to the implementation of renewables. But also on enabling
conventional and renewable solutions to coexist in a seamless transition towards a fossil-free
future. This requires insight, experience, and specialised engineering skills. Just as it takes the
courage to break waves, think anew, and take different paths – on land and at sea.

Fulfilling the vision of a fossil-free future does not come with a quick fix.

2024
Instead, the challenge lies in enabling a sustainable transition where
conventional and renewable energy coexist effectively until the day
when renewables can fully keep the world running.

So, while this scene will remain part of our lives for still some years to
come, we will remain committed in our effort to support the transition
– and contribute to ensuring that it is subject to change.
