Blair Ainslie, CEO of Seajacks, says:
“Virginia is at the heart of the burgeoning US offshore wind energy sector and we are delighted to open our US office in Virginia Beach. This office will soon become the hub for our US activities. Our teams have all been impressed with the local work force, supply chain and facilities available. Virginia is building a new industry in offshore wind and we are delighted to be involved.”
