Answer
The global offshore market is a significant opportunity for UK companies.
The Department for International Trade works with key UK suppliers, foreign Governments, sector focussed trade associations and procuring authorities to increase exports in the offshore wind sector.
In addition, UK Export Finance (UKEF) support is available for UK exporters throughout the renewable energy sector and welcomes new applications for support. Since 2015, UKEF has provided support on contracts worth over £200m to UK exporters in the offshore renewable energy sector.
