<strong>Offshore</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>Danmark</strong> has during the<br />

last year worked intensively together with<br />

HIH-Vind to strengthen the technological<br />

as well as the commercial ties between the<br />

wind turbine manufacturers and the offshore<br />

industry.<br />

Following several workshops and many<br />

meetings, we are pleased to announce that<br />

this initiative is now materializing into a<br />
