Ulstein Group in Norway has a long-established reputation for designing and building innovative vessels for the offshore oil and gas sector. It has become known around the world for its X-BOW hullform and, more recently, for the X-STERN too. Led by Gunvor Ulstein, the company's CEO, 2016 has seen Ulstein Group deliver its first vessel into a related industry, offshore wind energy, in the form of Windea la Cour, which also happens to be the first-ever vessel built with the X-BOW and X-STERN. 27-27 Herbert Ortner Few Austrian companies have become leading players in the offshore oil and gas sector. Being based in a landlocked country, offshore oil and gas and offshore wind might seem odd markets for an Austrian company to target, but cargo-handling specialist Palfinger is doing just that under the leadership of CEO Herbert Ortner. In fact, recent months have seen a spate of news stories about Palfinger, which is carving out a fast-growing share of business in those sectors. It has made a number of acquisitions, not least of Harding, the Norwegian lifesaving equipment manufacturer, and plans more. Speaking to OSJ at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg in September, Mr Ortner said, "We will continue to find the right acquisition partners."
