North Star has appointed Gitte Gard Talmo as chief executive officer. She takes over from Matthew Gordon, who, after four years successfully spearheading the firm’s expansion from the conventional energy sector into renewables, has stepped down to pursue new opportunities.
North Star has secured its first contract for a commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV), a second award with EnBW, further establishing the company’s growing presence in the European offshore wind sector. This award for the newbuild Grampian Kestrel CSOV (of VARD 4 22 design), will precede the decade-long minimum charter contract the firm signed in February to provide a SOV (of VARD 407 design) for the German energy utility firm’s He Dreiht wind farm in the North Sea.
