That means delivering for our clients, supporting our partners by working on projects - and that will motivate our people to support the ambitions of our changing society.”
 


Hyung Chul Lee, Chairman & CEO, Korean Register, said: “We at KR are very much aware that BV has the relevant technical background and know-how gained through the implementation of numerous projects in the Floating Offshore Wind Farm and KR in turn has diverse track records and network in the Korean Offshore industry. I am confident that two Societies will have synergy effect and subsequently lead to a successful outcome. I am pleased to say that mutual cooperation between KR and BV will also contribute to the Korean Government policy on Renewable Energy."
