Addressing the Canadian Parliament in 1961, President John F Kennedy said: “Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.” These famous words are appropriate for today’s oil & gas and offshore wind supply chains.

Necessity for an alliance comes from both sectors. Despite the relative stabilisation in market prices and the size of the decommissioning opportunity, companies serving the oil & gas industry face an uncertain future.
