There is quite some involvement from Dutch companies in the British offshore wind market. Why? The UK has the largest installed offshore wind capacity in the world.

On 16 September 2020, the Dutch Ambassador to the UK, Mr. Karel van Oosterom, joined the commemoration ceremony in Plymouth, together with the American Ambassador to the UK, Mr. Robert Wood Johnson, along with Admiral Tony Radakin (First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy) and online representation of the Wampanoag. On this day 400 years ago, the Pilgrims (a group of English Puritans) set sail from the port in Plymouth (UK) on a ship called the Mayflower, to travel to the free colonies in Massachusetts (US).
