  • □ “Given the rising interest in floating offshore wind farms, the signing of this agreement will open up more business opportunities for us in the market.

  • □ According to the Global Wind Energy Council’s “Global Wind Report 2020,” the global market for floating offshore wind power is expected to grow from 100MW this year to a maximum of 13.6GW by 2030.
