My main task in the Haugesund Wind Port project was to deliver a business plan and master plan for establishing a key infrastructure hub for the offshore wind industry in the North Sea Basin. The project focused on sustainability, innovation, and efficiency, with the goal of developing a facility for the preparation and maintenance of floating wind turbines. In addition to advancing renewable energy, the project aimed to drive economic growth and job creation in the region while contributing to global climate goals.
