Team Humber Marine Alliance signs Memorandum of Understanding with Virginia Offshore Wind Coalition USA
On the 3rd December 2015 it was announced that Team Humber Marine Alliance (THMA), in partnership with UK Trade & Investment, will lead a Northern Powerhouse offshore wind-focused mission to the USA in March 2016.
In the meantime last week we hosted visitors from the Virginia Offshore Wind Coalition (VOW) who toured a number of Humber facilities and participated in our event “Doing Business in the USA Offshore Wind” held at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby.
We are delighted to announce that during the event we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Virginia Offshore Wind Coalition (VOW) to agree on future mutual collaboration and the sharing of information regarding the development of offshore wind resources along the Mid-Atlantic coastline and its supply chain industries.
Key amongst discussion topics is a goal of promoting the interests and enhancing the commercial opportunities available to THMA members. This will include developing an understanding of the offshore wind value chain, facilitating member introductions, organising USA/UK webinars as well as market visits and trade missions.
Please see below a letter from the Governor of Virginia Mr. Terence R. McAuliffe congratulating the signing of the MoU and encouraging THMA members to support their emerging Offshore Wind industry.
