Shortage of seafarers

Agree that there will be opportunity, but any big petroleum transportation company is simply going to replace whatever lost revenue from oil with wind service/installation…you already see it happening. Oil from start to finish is simply a much more labor intensive industry than renewables and a lot of the maritime industry’s prospects have relied on oil as a major revenue source for a long time. Problem is wind, like a lot of renewables doesn’t create a lot of long term jobs other than maintenance. My company has never done much with petroleum but they are in the process of upgrading/buying boats in the hopes that they can be more appealing to major wind players…
