Saint-Brieuc construction to start next month
Construction will begin with the installation of the piles for the three-legged jacket foundations. To minimize environmental impact, piles will be fixed to the seabed using a drilling technique instead of the classical pile driving. The drilling will be carried out by Van Oord using the vessel AEOLUS.

We’ve got a confirmation that Marlins English testing center can be opened again. This is a piece of great news for us and seafarers too because the Marlins activity was suspended since 2020.11.18 and in these past ~5-6 months, the majority of a seaman could not renew their certificates. So, from 04.26 you can register again!
Our head of HR (Viktorija) finally took some time off and it was a great opportunity for Gabriele to take the charge and improve her leadership skills & knowledge.
That’s all for week 16!
