Wilhelmsen Ship Management has pushed into the offshore wind market with the purchase of a 50% stake in NorSea Wind, a specialist in windfarm logistics and technical solutions.
The deal follows a successful joint bid last year to provide maintenance services for off and onshore transformer stations in the German area of the North Sea.
Carl Schou, president and chief executive of Wilhelmsen Ship Management, said the investment was the company’s formal jump into the offshore wind sector.
