In Kristensson's view, the offshore wind industry is likely to open up new opportunities for American workboats.

"Momentum is building, especially with the expansion of offshore wind and renewable energy projects," he told Baird Maritime. "With a growing emphasis on sustainability, we can expect to see an increasing number of vessels powered by alternative fuels, hybrid systems, and even fully electric technologies.
