Drydocks World and Maritime World to showcase latest projects and services at Nor-Shipping 2013
Drydocks World and Maritime World, the well-established international maritime service provider, announced its participation in Nor-Shipping 2013, which is one of Europe’s leading exhibitions for the maritime and related sectors having wide-ranging industry participation from the region and outside. The event is being organised at Oslo, in Norway from June 4-7, 2013, said in the company's press release.
Drydocks World has had long-standing connections with the Scandinavian countries, having completed several large-scale sophisticated projects such as seismic research vessels to support the maritime, oil, gas and energy sectors. Also, several projects are in the pipeline that aims to transform oil, gas and alternative energy sectors in Norway and the surrounding region in a major way, in the years to come. A case in point is the gravity-based offshore HVDC platform structure being built for Aibel AS, which is a leading supplier of services related to oil & gas and renewable energy. The DolWin beta, one of the largest such structures, will become part of the large DolWin wind farm cluster near Dollart, in the German sector of the North Sea. It will receive alternating current from wind farms, and convert it into direct current before sending it onshore via subsea cables.
Highlighting the significant role of Drydocks World and Maritime World in supporting international maritime, oil & gas and energy sectors, HE Khamis Juma Buamim, Chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World said, “We have been regularly participating in this exhibition, as we understand the importance of the region and the opportunity to network with the international array of exhibitors and visitors to the show. We have a diversified portfolio of services on offer that targets the alternative energy sector, and new areas within the oil& gas sectors, besides our traditional maritime business. We are also interested in making constructive inroads into the region’s shipping industry and are keen to work with other organizations engaged in R&D towards developing green, environment-friendly alternative fuels and their commercialization. We are already working with DNV and other companies in this regard and seek to expand the participation from the region.”
