welcome,
The offshore sector is
currently in the process of changing dramatically and developing at pace. Oil & gas faces
the challenges associated with falling oil
prices, while offshore wind is working hard to
meet stringent demands for reducing the cost
of energy. Meanwhile, there’s a growing desire
to internationalise in both sectors.
Despite the challenges shared by both sectors, at Offshoreenergy.dk we find, to a certain
extent, that resistance persists. We find that
each camp believes they are capable of doing
something unique but shows limited interest
in learning from each other. At Offshoreenergy.
dk we will do our utmost to bring synergies
to the table. We will bridge the gap, and help
to resolve the parties’ common goals, i.e. cost
reduction and more internationalisation.
How do we intend to achieve this? In
future we will make special efforts to gather
people from both sectors. We will invite them
to join networking groups, innovation projects
and workshops. The first issue we will address
is decommissioning. The oil & gas sector is
in the process of dismantling platforms and
offshore wind will shortly start decommissioning turbines. Another area where there is good
potential to create synergies is subsea. Subsea
maintenance is a feature of both sectors.
Synergies will also be reflected in our
other activities in the future, including in our
communication. In our work we will encourage both sectors to share what they know. This
issue of ON/OFF is an example of this. We
normally publish two versions, i.e. one for oil &
gas and one for renewables. This time we have
amalgamated the two versions of ON/OFF into
one and this month’s theme is synergy.
In the future ON/OFF will be replaced
by an electronic newsletter where we will
also focus on knowledge-sharing. Enjoy your
reading!

event in
April
Managers, purchasers and salesmen from 12 different countries held
650 meetings at OWIB the b2b speed-networking event, that took
place at EWEA OFFSHORE 2015
The business2business event OWIB
that took place at EWEA OFFSHORE
2015 in Copenhagen. OWIB is an
intense event, which gathered the
industry for the eighth time. The
speed-networking meetings give
participants the opportunity to meet
potential business partners in record
time.
A total of 12 countries were represented as 150 business men and women
sat at the tables. One of them was
Improvement Officer Carsten Hyldgaard
Nielsen from Vattenfall. He took part for
the first time:
”My job at Vattenfall is to generate
improvement and at OWIB I have received
input of great value from the companies
that I have held meetings with. I am positively surprised about all the know-how
that is just waiting to be applied.
I think the concept with 15-minute
meetings is great – it is short, brief and
to the point and you can easily get an
impression of whether or not there is
potential to go into further dialogue with
the participant you meet,” he said. //
Building on last year’s success all players and stakeholders within the
wave energy sector meet to expand their network and learn more
about the latest knowledge at the WEIB-event April 28 in Aalborg
OWIB took five hours
and most of the
participants at the
speed-networking
event had 12 meetings
during that time.

Update about the sector, networking
and an exhibition. Those are the main
ingredients in the event WEIB that takes
place for the second time.
”The sector is still in its infancy and
WEIB helps to make it more professional. It brings the grass roots together.
At WEIB, we share what we know and
build the foundations for cooperation
and exchanging ideas which can shape
and set standards for the sector.
The event is also an excellent forum
for many companies wishing to join this
part of the energy industry. I personally
made contact with a number of interesting and potential sub-suppliers last year,”
says CEO Per Resen from Resen Energy
took part in WEIB last year.
He has already signed up for this
year’s event and is looking forward to
participating. //

Offshoreenergy.dk has recently
opened up for foreign members
that can contribute to innovation
and internationalisation in the
Danish offshore industry

4 membership benefits
• Many opportunities to network and
create new connections with other
offshore companies.
• The possibility to participate in
development projects alongside
with Offshoreenergy.dk.
• Access to consulting about networking, clustering, funding and
business development.
• A full profile in our offshore
business database.
Approximately 60 per cent of the Danish offshore industry’s business come
from foreign markets and the sector
expects that a greater part of the future
opportunities lies outside the country.
At the same time both offshore oil & gas
and offshore wind work intensively to
find new solutions to bring down cost
of energy. In both cases the Danish companies can benefit from co-operating or
partnering up with foreign companies.
That is the reason why Offshore­
energy.dk has now decided to also
welcome foreign companies and institutions as members.
“We will make an effort to offer
membership to foreign stakeholders that
will contribute to making the Danish
offshore sector even more competitive
in the future,” says director for oil
& gas, Johannes Kromann Bie from
Offshore­energy.dk who is responsible for
memberships. //
A gold medal that
benefits members
By Marianne Sommer
For the second
consecutive year,
Offshoreenergy.dk
has been awarded
the EU’s most
distinguished
honorary award
for cluster
organisations. The
award rubberstamps our way of
running a cluster.
The accolade
benefits our
members
Good news reached Offshoreenergy.dk
at the beginning of 2015. We received
word that we have once again won
a prestigious accolade: The Cluster
Management Excellence Label Gold –
Proven for Cluster Excellence. The award
is the EU’s acknowledgement of cluster
organisations that demonstrate excellent
cluster management.
The Cluster Management Excellence
Label Gold – also referred to simply as
the Gold Medal – was introduced in
2013. Offshoreenergy.dk was one of the
first clusters to receive the award, which
is given on the basis of 31 criteria.
”For example, points are given for
management, interaction with members and partners, events, visibility and
execution of projects,” explains Project
Manager Signe Arnklit.
She was responsible for collecting
documentation for the panel of judges.
Signe believes that the accolade is a
gilt-edged stamp of quality, which is very
important to Offshoreenergy.dk.
”There are parallels between the
Cluster Management Excellence Label
Gold and both ISO 9001 certification
and the EFQM Excellence Model. The
Gold Medal signals that we are a highly
professional organisation that system-
atically works to carry out innovation
projects for the benefit of the industry,”
she says.
As there are many offshore clusters
at the European level, it is expected that
the Gold Medal will become increasingly
important. The European Commission
has prepared the ground for prioritising
Gold Medal clusters when they apply for
funds, e.g. Horizon 2020 funding.
”It is precisely because the Gold
Medal is regarded as a guarantee of
quality that it acts, to some extent, as a
prequalification for these organisations.
ISO 9001 has a similar effect in the offshore industry,” explains Signe Arnklit.
Even though we have already won
the medal, Offshoreenergy.dk has still to
learn how many points we have scored
out of the maximum 150. Last time we
scored 134 points, which was the highest
score ever given. We hope to beat our
own record. //

A new test basin for wave generation at Aalborg University will be twice the
size of the current basin and will showcase its state-of-the-art equipment
A new wave basin currently under
construction at Aalborg University
will be able to reproduce 3D waves on
command, generate currents and waves
simultaneously and on water depths of
up to 1.2 metres, which is roughly twice
as much as is possible in the university’s
laboratory today.
“Construction is under way. It’s
going according to plan, perhaps even
a little faster, and the plan is that we’ll
move into the new building in August
2016,” says Associate Professor Jens Peter
Kofoed, Department of Civil Engineering
at Aalborg University.
The new test basin will take up most
of the ground floor in a new building,
which will house the entire Department
of Civil Engineers. It is part of a larger
expansion of the campus area in Aalborg.
The building will face the new
central administration and the idea is
that the wave laboratory should be open
and visible so that visitors entering the
main entrance can see the facilities.
Another advantage of the new building is
that it is located next to the Department
of Energy Technology, a close partner
in wave energy tests, with both departments working closely with the real-life
test plant in Hanstholm.
“The next big step for wave energy is
to get it out at sea and test it in practise.
There’ll still be plenty of things to test
in the laboratories, though, and this is
where our facilities fit really well into
the test plants in Hanstholm and Nissum
Bredning,” says Jens Peter Kofoed.
The new test basin will replace two
existing basins and will be equipped with
the latest technology in wave generation.
Further to testing waves and currents
in laboratories, the Department of Civil
engineers at the University of Aalborg
also develops state-of-the-art wave generation equipment for other laboratories.
“We usually work together with a
Spanish company, making equipment for
laboratories around the world and it is
clearly the ambition that this new place
must showcase the best we can produce
in this area.”
“We have just won an order in Korea
for the largest wave basin ever to have
been built in the world. Our Spanish
partner develops the hard-ware and
builds the machines whereas we take
care of the soft-ware for wave generations and provide consultancy aid in the
design phase,” says Jens Peter Kofoed. //

Danbor looking to
harvest synergies
40 years of experience working in the
maritime environment with outstanding
HSEQ record gives Danbor an edge in
the pioneering offshore wind industry
By Sune Falther
Photo: Danbor
A wealth of experience in an emerging industry is a rare combination.
But with Danbor that is exactly
what you get.
A pioneer in the Danish offshore
oil and gas industry since the earliest
days – 1974 – Danbor has grown with
the development of the North Sea. With
a relatively newly established Wind
Division, Danbor aims to reap the fruits
of more than 40 years of experience
working the tough waters based on a
safety culture.
“The offshore wind industry is 50%
maritime environment and 50% technology, says Jørn Bue Madsen”, CEO at
Danbor:
“We bring a maritime experience and
knowledge of working in the North Sea.
Both are equally vital to wind and oil and
gas”, he says.
Growing demands
Rope access is but one of many offshore oil
and gas competences directly transferable
to the offshore wind industry.
With 400 employees Danbor is the
largest base operator in Denmark. It
supplies a wide range of duties to the
entire offshore value chain: Manpower,
stevedoring, Warehousing, operation and
maintenance and logistics among others.
The operating method is vital:
“You can’t compromise in the North
Sea. You can’t come up short, and you
can’t fail to deliver. Understanding that
and performing to a very high level with
regards to HSEQ, quality, time-keeping
and logistics is a competence honed over
the years”, Jørn Bue Madsen says.
As the offshore wind industry
matures, Jørn Bue Madsen expects the
demands for professional suppliers and
subcontractors to grow.
“The offshore wind industry is
still emerging, and there are quite a
few technology driven companies and
unfortunately also companies not having
the required professional and safety
mindset as is often the case in emerging
markets. In some ways it resembles the
emerging photo voltaic industry being
‘the wild west’ as that market emerged.
The growing demand of a certain quality
expected is where we see an opportunity
as the market matures”, he says.
Structure gives possibilities
Venturing into offshore wind has been
an ambition for Danbor for several years.
Becoming a part of NorSea Group AS,
Norway’s leading supplier of base and
logistics services, further enhanced that
ambition. The aim for the Wind Division is to grow organically and invest
‘significantly’, as Jørn Bue Madsen puts
it. Looking for interesting acquisitions is
part of the plan:
“We believe the demands will
continue to grow, and that the offshore
wind industry will consolidate with
fewer, larger companies. Those lacking
the structural or financial capacity, O&M
experience in maritime environment
and a HSEQ track-record needed to meet
the demands, could find it difficult. We
have Danbor and NSG; we have offices
in Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway
and the UK giving us an ideal access to
the North Sea. From our owner structure
we have easy access to offices worldwide,
should we see an opportunity somewhere else”, Jørn Bue Madsen says:
“We have the knowledge, and we
have the long term ambitions”, he says. //

Oil & gas experiences valuable
for offshore wind
By Karin
Jensen
There are challenges
and opportunities
open to the offshore
wind energy industry
– and there are many
valuable lessons to be
learned from oil & gas
As the EU moves towards a low-carbon
economy, offshore wind energy offers
many opportunities for the future. There
are challenges too and, in this connection, experience from the oil & gas
industry may be valuable. This was the
conclusion of a completed project called
POWER Cluster, which has been an
important springboard to more synergy
between the industries.
“We have learned a lot from the
POWER Cluster project, an initiative
which aimed to establish a business cluster for offshore wind in the North Sea
Region. Amongst the challenges include
improving safety and eliminating accidents, as well as addressing key issues,
including cost of energy, political uncertainty and raising capital,” says Development Manager, Morten Holmager from
Offshoreenergy.dk, who was the Danish
representative in POWER Cluster.
As offshore wind, like many other
renewables, is an intermittent source of
energy, the construction of a super grid
in the EU is imperative. Furthermore,
the offshore wind industry is facing a
series of challenges which stem from
the vagaries of the global supply chain,
in particular the supply of copper, rare
earth minerals, large-scale casting and
forging, high-powered semiconductors
and high modulus carbon fibre.
“The project concluded that there is
a lack of suitable harbours and vessels,
insufficient capacity to manufacture the
quantity of submarine cables required
and a shortfall in capacity to build
offshore wind turbines. At the same time,
the project reported potential challenges
to the industry in the shape of an urgent
need to build new factories adjacent to
suitable harbour facilities, which may
also be dogged by a lack of qualified
personnel,” says Morten Holmager.
“The oil & gas industry has been
facing many of the same challenges
for decades and there are many lessons
here to be learned for the offshore wind
sector,” he adds.
Since being pinpointed in the report,
some of the bottlenecks in the wind
sector have already been removed or
optimised but there are still obstacles to
overcome. The report concludes that most of the
technology developed for offshore oil &
gas is relevant to the offshore wind sector and is available in the public domain.
The same is true for technologies that
were developed for offshore construction
vessels, which can be incorporated into
new vessels. The supply chain which
supports the day-to-day operation of
the oil & gas industry is also readily
transferable to a future offshore wind
industry. There are also many lessons to
be learned in the design, manufacturing
and installation phases.
According to POWER Cluster, when
it comes to safety systems and technologies associated with installation and
maintenance of North Sea structures, the
oil & gas industry has adopted an open
and cooperative approach, something the
offshore wind sector can learn from. //

The figure shows the degree of synergy and competition governed by market forces. For example there is generally
thought to be a shortage of vessels capable of laying in-field and export cables. The type of vessel required to lay cable
and umbilicals is common to both industries and this gives rise to a high degree of synergy and competition.

By marianne sommer
The boat rocks and the snow
is blinding. Jens, a qualified deck
officer, is on the bridge with a battery
of instruments, buttons, handles and
screens – everything he needs to
manoeuvre the vessel. On the horizon there’s a helicopter and, beyond
it, the mountains that form the
skyline above the town of Ålesund in
Norway.
Even though this all looks real
enough, we’re not actually at sea but
indoors at Ålesund University College i Norway. In a simulator. Virtual
training courses have been developed
and held here for the last ten years.
Their purpose is to optimise O& M
procedures and improve safety in the
offshore oil & gas industry. In practical terms, course participants have
access to a simulator which gives
them the opportunity to practise
offshore operational and installation
procedures over and over again, saving money and lives in the process.
Ålesund University College is now
working to adapt these training
courses for the offshore renewables
sector.
To do this the college is working,
among others, with the EcoWindS
project, the primary purpose of
which is to increase the innovation

intensifying the relationship between
research and the offshore wind industry
via collaboration between researchdriven clusters in regions of Denmark,
the UK, Germany and Norway.
”Renewables and the oil & gas sector
are increasingly similar. They often perform the same types of work procedures,
for example, manoeuvring supply boats
and lifting loads. It seems logical that we
should offer training to the renewables
sector too,” explains Gunnar Nyland,
who is Associated Professor at Ålesund
University College.
He likens the simulator to a giant
brain, which is fed with data from
various parties in very different spheres
of competence.
”We get input to our programs from
engineers, customers, programmers and
students. Innovation lies in meeting
and exchanging ideas in the interface
between different professions and disciplines. This exchange has a significant
and positive effect on the final product,”
adds Stian Nerland, Project Manager at
Ålesund University College.
The college plans to sell simulator

The safe choice for offshore wind installation
Maritime competences
before everything else
Exploiting synergies from an extensive maritime capability
is part of the local DNA in Esbjerg – certainly in the case of
Viking Life-Saving Equipment
by sune falther
photo: viking life-saving equipment
Founded with global ambitions in Esbjerg in 1960 to supply a growing fishing industry with effective life rafts, Viking
Life-Saving Equipment’s development has been in tune with
the entire Danish offshore adventure to this day. Viking now
has 70 offices and 2,000 employees worldwide.
Responding to a demand and seeing opportunities is in the
genes of Viking, as Vice President Benny Carlsen, Viking Offshore, explains:
“We have been constantly evolving from our roots as a company with strong maritime competences,” he says:
“In the early days of offshore oil and gas in the North Sea,
some of the pioneers in the supply industry came from the
fishing industry. They had maritime knowledge; they knew the
importance of safety at sea – and they knew who to contact to
get it,” he says.
Quality is key
Entering the offshore wind industry is
a natural step for Viking. According to
Benny Carlsen, for Viking the offshore

Grimsby
is expected
to be the
future O&M
offshore hub
in Eastern
England.
Earlier this year, a delegation of 18
representatives from Danish O&M offshore wind companies went to Grimsby
with the aim of establishing contact
with British peers and to gain an insight
into what the future holds for the UK
offshore wind industry.
Among the Danish companies
participating in the delegation trip were
Skibselektro, a supplier of maritime
electricity and electronics-solutions,
Alpha Offshore Service, a supplier of
installation work, maintenance, O&M
supervision, main component exchange
as well as Rope Access Advanced blade
repair, and Kynde & Toft, which does
repair and maintenance work on fleets
and hydraulic systems.
“A large part of our customer target
group is participating in the construction phase of offshore wind farms in the
UK. You can say that we’re not partici­
pating directly in the projects but we’ll be offering
services to the subcontractors,” says Per Mollerup from
Skibselektro.
Skibselektro, a newcomer to the offshore wind sector, sees a large potential in the UK and believes it has a
competitive advantage because it offers both electrical
and electronics solutions.
“It’s one of our strengths. Most other companies
provide just one of the two but we’ve a broader range.
And we can service both large and smaller vessels.”
“If our customers want us to, and if there’s a
demand for our services, then we want to establish
ourselves in the UK. We’ve been in all parts of the
world and the UK is relatively close to home,” says
Per Mollerup, who describes the delegation trip as a
positive experience, not least because Skibselektro won
an order from a new customer while in Grimsby.
Mikkel Lund from Alpha Offshore Service believes
the trip served to strengthen the ties between the members of the group, which is very useful when looking
further ahead.
“We have an ambition to get together with a group
of other O&M companies and establish a joint company
in the UK. This was our plan before the trip to Grimsby
and I was glad to see that there’s still a lot of interest for
that,” says Mikkel Lund.
Lund believes the potential is very large in the UK
and if successful in establishing a joint O&M company

English staff.
“My vision is to mix Danish know-how and local British staff. We won’t gain anything as a cluster from doing
everything ourselves, we need local labour,” says Lund.
Niels Olaf Vinther Jensen from Kynde & Toft agrees
that there is a lot of potential in the UK and he highlights the large interest from British companies and
the positive feedback the Danish delegation received in
Grimsby.
“It’s all a question of being there at the right time.
Perhaps it was a bit too premature now. Grimsby is
literally starting up from scratch and a lot still needs to
be build,” says Vinther Jensen.
Like with many other Danish O&M companies,
Kynde & Toft expects to follow its customers to Grimsby
and preferably as part of a cluster with other O&M companies and with one figurehead representing them all.
“We need one point of contact. That is one person to
call and one person who can delegate the assignments.
We’re in a very fortunate position that we’ve more than
30 companies in the cluster covering all areas within
offshore wind,” says Niels Olaf Vinther Jensen.
A second trip to Grimsby in expected before summer. //

Huge potential in Norwegian steel
Despite the drop in oil price there is still a huge
potential for Danish steel-making companies to
obtain a share of the orders on the Norwegian
offshore oil & gas market. A new project is set to
equip the companies to conquer the market
For more information about
the project Swedish Steel visit
www.offshoreenergy.dk/steel or
contact Head of International Projects
Mikkel Juul: [email protected].
The demand for processed steel in one
of the world’s largest offshore oil & gas
markets is enormous. Danish companies
have excellent chances of getting their
share of the orders. The same applies to
many Swedish steel-making companies.
This is the impetus behind a new project,
which aims to gear companies in Sweden
and Denmark – possibly in cooperation
with each other – to conquer the Norwegian market. This message comes from
the Head of International Projects at
Offshoreenergy.dk, Mikkel Juul, who will
manage the project. Offshore­­­energy.dk
is a knowledge centre and innovation
network, which aims to foster growth in
this sector.
”Danish and Swedish steel-making
companies possess the skills needed in
the Norwegian market. Yet, for a variety
of reasons, many smaller companies
hesitate to take decisive steps towards
conquering the market. Their reluctance
may be explained by a veritable sea of
requirements that companies must
meet before they can become suppliers
in the Norwegian market. We have
launched this initiative which aims
to help companies take the plunge,”
explains Mikkel Juul.
The Swedish Steel project is organised by Offshoreenergy.dk and Stål &
Verkstad (Steel and Engineering), an
organisation which works to develop the
steel industry in Sweden. The first step
is a workshop, where interested companies from Denmark and Sweden can
learn more about the market and gain
an insight into the requirements and
standards they have to meet to become
suppliers. The workshop will also be an
opportunity to meet potential partners.
”The second step will be to select the
companies which have most potential,
help them to map their skills, and then
gear them to win orders in the Norwegian steel market,” says Mikkel Juul.
He is looking forward to welcoming
a large group of growth-hungry companies to the workshop, which will be held
21-22 April 2015 in Esbjerg, Denmark.” //

Rubber-stamped to work in both
branches. Trimatic Automation A/S
has discovered that there is much
to gain from supplying solutions
to both wind and oil & gas.
The synergies include the same
requirements and standards,
and that it is possible to
apply the same solutions
in both sectors
By marianne sommer // photo: Trimatic Automation
With our new office in Esbjerg , we come as close to
our customers around Esbjerg, as we are on Als, and
therefore we can move from hour to hour , when our
clients need specialist knowledge in automation and
electrical installations. If you really want to share in
the growth pie in the offshore, one must be where
offshore companies are – and we are so now, says
ceo Claus Sørensen from Trimatic Automation.
Initially Trimatic will be represented by a
single man in Esbjerg, but with a clear
expectation that in the near future more
straff will be employed in the Esbjerg
department.
About 40% of Trimatic Automation’s profits
come from the offshore sector – primarily from
offshore wind. This was not always the case.
Years ago, oil & gas sector orders figured much
more in the accounts than they do today. In
future, the company plans to focus once again on
oil & gas. CEO Claus Sørensen finds that once a
company like his has proven that it is geared to
deliver to one of the sectors, it has easy access to
the other.
“We work for many different sectors within
the energy industry and we find that offshore
demands specifically high-end equipment,
well-qualified manpower and first-class service.
Once you have demonstrated that you can deliver
as ordered to one sector – and also that you
have good references – to a great extent, you are
already rubber-stamped to supply to the other.
Trust is incredibly important,” explains Claus
Sørensen from Trimatic Automation, a company
based in Sønderborg in the southern part of
Jutland.
And when you have to develop new solutions
and models, there are synergies at your fingertips
when you supply to both wind and oil & gas.
“Offshore wind and oil & gas are very similar.
Safety has top priority and breakdowns are
extremely costly so both sectors require lasting
and reliable solutions. They are less likely to go
for the spot price than other industries. Having
previously sold the right solutions at the right
price, we have an advantage when we bid for
tasks in either sector,” explains Claus Sørensen.
The CEO also reminds us that the list of
benefits also includes synergies within the
company. The company can reuse measuring
systems and process equipment, e.g. R&D
testing equipment, in connection with large
constructions at sea. He hopes to gain
the full benefit of the synergies in the
future.
“We have very recently opened
an office in Esbjerg to come
closer to the offshore sector in its
entirety and we’re sure that our
previous experience in this sector
will be to our benefit,” says Claus
Sørensen. //
CT Offshore relocates
to Fredericia
As of 1 June 2015, CT Offshore will move its headquarters to
Fredericia, Denmark. CT Offshore will share office building
with A2SEA at Kongens Kvarter in Fredericia.
A2SEA owns 67 % of the shares in the Danish cable
installation company which was founded in 2002 by Paw
Cortes, who continues as shareholder with 33% of the
shares.
“This is solely a relocation and CT Offshore continues
as an independent and highly competitive brand. However,
the relocation means that the two companies can, to a
greater extent, utilise the resources and specialised knowledge across the companies to be able to continuously offer
the best solutions to our customers in a highly competitive
market,” says Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO in A2SEA and
chairman of the Board in CT Offshore.
Hytor’s new headquaters
Hytor had for a long time been missing office space. Therefore the company cut the first sod for a new headquarters
in June 2014 and in the beginning of April this year the
company moved in to 5650 m2 located on Guldborgsundvej
in Kjersing Esbjerg, Denmark.
Trimatic opened office
in Esbjerg
Trimatic Automation, a supplier of industrial automation
and information technology based in Als in the southern
part of Denmark, just opened an office in Esbjerg. The goal
is to get closer to existing customers in southwestern Denmark and expand the company’s activities in the offshore
sector.

The aim is to make the new executive
programme international and the
ambition is to have 80% foreign
students on the longer term.
By Karen Witt Olsen // photo: shutterstock
Energy & Climate Academy
has joined forces with MIT
Sloan Executive Education and
established a new executive
training programme aimed at
experienced senior managers
at energy and climate
companies. The first course
takes place this autumn
Energy and climate companies often
have to navigate in very unpredictable
and volatile situations but quite often the
organisation is not geared to meet these
challenges, which can vary from geo-political changes to new technologies or
rapidly changing weather conditions. A
new two-module course aims to better
prepare energy and climate executives to
face these challenges.
“From the beginning we wanted to
make this programme international.
We held talks with Harvard, IMD in
Switzerland and MIT, all top-five schools
in the world, and ended up picking MIT
because of its engineering background,”
tells Torben Kirkegaard, head of Energy
& Climate Academy.
The first of the two modules, both
lasting a week, will be held at the MIT
Campus in Massachusetts, US, and will
focus on how to predict the unpredictable.
“Is there any way we can learn how
to understand the world we’re operating
in, the geo-political developments, for
example? Perhaps there’re even new
business opportunities to be found in
these big shifts we sometimes see,” says
Torben Kirkegaard.
The second module will take place in
Denmark and focuses on how to build
and run an organisation in a turbulent
environment where the situation may
change completely from one moment
to the next. To provide the course with
a real-life feel, an agreement has been
made with MHI Vestas Offshore Wind to
use the Danish-Japanese joint venture as
a case study.
“There’re many interesting aspects
in the MHI Vestas case, not least the
cultural challenges of putting Danish
and Japanese engineers together,” says
Kirkegaard.
Not aimed at top management
The executive programme is not aimed
at top executives from large energy and
climate companies but for those just
below, explains Torben Kirkegaard.
“The course is aimed at those
referring to top management. It could
be heads of technology development,
heads of business development or the
head of a department. They typically
have the finger on the pulse,” says Torben
Kirkegaard.
With a tuition fee of 16,750 euro,
excluding travel and accommodation,
the price of the executive programme is
rather steep. The money is not an issue
here, stresses Kirkegaard.
“It’s expensive, yes, but no one
questions the price or the quality of the
programme. They all know MIT is one of
the most prestigious universities in the
world,” he says.
Another advantage is that the course
is a great way to build an international
network with people working in all areas
of energy and climate.
“You have the possibility to build an
international network on this course
that you just can’t do when attending a
course internally in your own organisation,” says Torben Kirkegaard.
The ambition for the longer term is
for 80% international students and 20%
Danish students.
The deadline for enrolling in the
executive programme is around May
1st. //

British company 3sun Group’s office in Denmark is an important piece in
the offshore wind jigsaw that is part of their global growth strategy. British
3sun Group is a provider of products and services to the energy industry
worldwide. The company’s office in Denmark is an important piece in the
offshore wind jigsaw that is part of their global growth strategy
When 3sun Group’s CEO Graham
Hacon looked at his strategy, he realised
that an important piece was missing
from his company’s plan for global
growth. 3sun Group was not present in
the Danish offshore wind market. Some
years ago, he began to investigate where
and how best to set up a company, which
sells a portfolio of offshore service and
installation solutions for renewables and
oil & gas. He also realised that Esbjerg,
the home of offshore wind, is an important spot on the map and decided to open
a branch there in 2013.
“Before we established premises in
Denmark we saw nothing of wind turbine production until the turbines were
loaded onto a ship in the UK. That meant
that we missed the first part of the life
cycle and thus a great business opportunity. Being established in Denmark
means that we are close to the product
and the manufacturers,” says CEO of
3sun Group, Graham Hacon.
The Danish branch office is a success. At the beginning of 2015, the order
books at the port-side premises were full
so the group initiated a recruitment process for highly skilled technicians, who
will support both wind and oil and gas
projects, with installation and inspection
services.
“There are more than 20,000 skilled
technicians employed in Denmark making it an ideal location to recruit skilled
and experienced technicians,” says Gra-
ham Hacon, who has now successfully
recruited many Danish technicians.
Developing a local workforce is fully
compatible with corporate strategy. The
next step will be to expand by acquisition. The group already counts 700
companies in 57 countries around the
globe.
“You can choose either to grow
organically or to fast-track. We have
chosen the latter. We plan to look for
smaller Danish companies, which are
geared to become part of a bigger group,”
says Hacon, who founded 3sun Group
in 2007.
Hacon visits the Esbjerg office every
4-6 weeks so he has ample opportunity to
take a good look at Danish companies. //
