Seatower AS has as the leading pioneer within gravity based offshore foundations opened an office in Glasgow in Scotland.
They see the Scottish market as the most interesting offshore wind market currently, and with the plans for Round 3 and deep water sites near Scotland, this is where mass manufacturing and deployment of selffloating GBS foundations for sure will happen. “The market is here” , says Niels Brix Vice President for business development in Seatower in a brief comment motivating the new branch office.
