Drydocks World and Maritime World 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.

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.
