COLUMN | Reaping what you sow: McDermott, Seatrium, Gunvor and Trafigura [Offshore Accounts]

When Saint Paul wrote in his letter to the Galatians that “a man reaps what he sows,” he probably wasn’t thinking about corruption in the oil and gas industry two millennia later.

BOOK REVIEW | BP Shipping Pictorial: The Golden Years 1945-1975

Intelatus assesses the “readjustment” in the U.S. offshore wind sector

Business consultancy Intelatus Global Partners has been taking a look at the much discussed “readjustment” in the U.S. offshore wind sector and putting things into perspective.

The start of 2024 marks a period where the “readjustment” of the U.S. wind segment seemed to become more apparent, says the firm.
