Yesterday at the IRO new year reception president of the board Pieter van Oord gave the traditional state of the offshore sector speech reflecting on 2019.
A year where oil and gas has shown to be recovering, with a push for efficient production. A year where offshore wind promises to make an even bigger surge than before, but where competition is been ever increasing. The Dutch will have to unite in the world wide development to keep their leading edge.
Bernard Alblas, president of the young IRO board, highlighted the role the new generation has in this development.
Bernard also announced that he will step down this year as president of the young IRO committee and that the board is looking for new members. Are you interested in a position in the board? Email your motivational letter to young@iro.nl
