Are we meeting the vessels demand or is it time to invest more?

Moderated by Jørgen Brandt Theodorsen, Director Wind at Norwegian Energy Partners

To what extent do project delays and cancelations impact the expected vessel supply and demand imbalances that have been predicted for some time? We look into supply/demand within the different vessels segments (SOVs/WTG/HL, CL, etc), before we discuss if, given the current growth rate in offshore wind, these imbalances will support investments in new vessels? Where, when and in which segments?
