Nordic Yards has appointed Herbert Aly to succeed Vitaly Yusufov as chairman of its management board. Aly said he plans to transform the company from a shipyard to an engineering and project services provider. "To succeed as a specialist on the international markets, we will concentrate much more on profitable niche markets," he says. Nordic Yards has built several converter platforms for German offshore wind projects, and is currently working on the SylWin Alpha converter station.
