Norwegian Offshore Wind and Humber Marine and Renewables sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to connect members and drive North Sea collaboration.

We aren’t just connecting two regions; we are bridging the North Sea in the true spirit of innovation and shared delivery. Together, our respective members will unlock new opportunities, drive technological advancements, and accelerate the growth of the offshore wind industry.

- Camilla Carlbom Flinn, Director in Humber Marine and Renewables

A multi-GW project pipeline

The signing ceremony, held on 16th of June, at 16, during Global Offshore Wind, marks a significant milestone in establishing this strategic partnership. HMR and NOW agree to collaborate on activities in offshore wind and supply chain development.

“The Humber combines gigawatt-scale operational capacity, a multi-GW project pipeline, and strong offshore wind supply chains. With Humber Marine and Renewables, we have an ideal partner for creating opportunities for our members and building partnership across the North Sea. This MoU cements a stronger cooperation and a platform for further cooperation in the years to come,” says Tor Arne Johnsen, Business Development Manager in NOW.

Together with Alfred Risan, working group leader for UK, and Hilde Øygarden, Johnsen represented Norwegian Offshore Wind at the signing ceremony.

From fisheries to offshore wind: building on strong ties

The Humber has taken a world-leading role in offshore wind over the past two decades, and Camilla Carlbom Flinn and her organization are delighted to see many of their members now exporting their knowledge, services and skills. 

And she emphasises the history of strong ties across the North Sea:

Norway has been a friend through fishing and seafood supply, and now we're harnessing the power from our expansive coastlines too. Humber Marine and Renewables is proud to officially partner with Norwegian Offshore Wind.
