'The Board welcomes Peter Laurits as CEO and at the same time thanks Peter Schou's for his efforts as interim CEO during the spring. We wish them both the best of luck during the handover period and look forward to Peter Laurits coming in operationally with his strong commercial drive and putting his mark on the company,' says Klementina Österberg, Chairman of SeaTwirl's Board.

SeaTwirl develops the future floating wind turbines in a simple and robust design that reduces costs at every stage, from installation to maintenance. In recent years, the company has gone from prototype to developing a version of a 1MW, S2 wind turbine. Now, SeaTwirl is in an expansion phase with a focus on the market and the upscaling of 'S2'.
