“Asia Paci? c is already today a key market for us, but it’s also a market that we continue to see signi? cant opportunities he said. “In North America, we also see opportunities. We do not today have a strong position in North America, but we are engaged with both the development of renewable energy and the traditional oil and gas sector. I think the combination of those two, is something we’re going to see much more of in the coming years as well, where the traditional oil and gas majors will also be engaging in offshore activities, renewable activities. So we see North America as a really important op- portunity for us in the coming years.”
