-It was a good start to the week, and nice to see that so many suppliers in our region are attending and so pationate about offshore wind. We have great faith in the our chances to win an area on the Utsira Nord project and believe that we can deliver a cost-effective project with a high degree of local content.

At the supplier meeting, Kjetil Jacobsen presented Deep Wind Offshore and the Joint Venture's plans for the Norwegian continental shelf.
