⚓︎ Our Marine School Cadet’s Visit the Grampian Tees 👷🏻 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of enthusiastic new cadets from South Shields Marine School aboard the Grampian Tees while she was alongside at the Port of Tyne. 🧐 It was fantastic to see so much curiosity and excitement from the next generation of seafarers whilst exploring the vessel, meeting the crew, asking insightful questions and getting a real sense of what life onboard a SOV is like. ⚙️ Cadets represent the future of the maritime industry; their passion, ambition and willingness to learn are what will drive innovation, sustainability, and excellence at sea in the years to come. 💡 By providing opportunities like these, we aim to inspire and support the next wave of maritime professionals  helping them gain hands-on experience and build the skills that will keep our industry strong and forward-thinking. 🙏🏼 A big thank you to Steve Myers MBA for leading the tour and sharing his experience both on and offshore, to the crew of Grampian Tees for taking the time to share their knowledge and to South Shields Marine School for their continued partnership in nurturing tomorrow’s maritime talent. #NorthStar #MaritimeCareers #FutureSeafarers #CadetTraining #SOV #GrampianTees #MarineIndustry #PortOfTyne #SouthShieldsMarineSchool

Yesterday we were proud to host our Investor Day, a chance to reflect on North Star’s growth journey, review the market landscape, and share our strategic vision for the years ahead.   We were delighted to welcome guests from our lender group who have supported North Star during our transition into offshore wind. Together with our owners at Partners Group, they have helped place us in a strong financial position to capitalise on these opportunities, establishing North Star as a clear market leader.   A highlight of the day was taking our visitors on a vessel tour, giving them the opportunity to see North Star's operations in action. A special thank you to our clients at Equinor for their hospitality at the Dogger Bank O&M base. Showcasing how we collaborate in harmony with our clients was the perfect way to start the day – and a strong reminder of the partnerships at the heart of our success.   We look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to grow and deliver for our clients, stakeholders, and the wider offshore energy sector.   #NorthStar #InvestorDay #OffshoreEnergy #Partnerships RBC Capital Markets, NatWest, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., IFM Investors, AIB, The Scottish National Investment Bank, NAB, Allianz Global Investors, RBS, Partners Group
