“The metocean challenges posed by Thor’s uncovered offshore location, resembling excessive waves and powerful wind in autumn and winter are including to the complexity. Our ongoing collaboration with RWE reinforces our place as a trusted accomplice within the improvement of fresh power options”, he additional added.
