Following the closing of the acquisition of Oslo-based contractor Havfram by Belgian marine services and dredging group DEME, the chief executive officer of the Norwegian firm has stepped down from her role. DEME submitted a bid to take over stakes in Havram held by private investment firm Sandbrook Capital and Canadian pension fund PSP Investments in early April, as well as, among others, the cost needed to complete two wind turbine installation vessels under construction in China. The Belgian firm officially closed the £760m ($1bn) acquisition of Havfram late last week. The acquisition will see DEME expand its presence in the offshore wind energy sector and strengthen its position in the turbine and foundation installation business. As a result of the completed acquisition, Ingrid Due-Gundersen stepped down from her position as Havfram CEO. Even Larsen will now take the role of managing director under DEME ownership. “We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Ingrid, whose unwavering dedication and integrity have shaped the company’s growth and culture in lasting ways. We thank her for her remarkable leadership and wish her every success in the future,” the company said in a social media post. |
