Kurt E. Thomsen, who was the mastermind of the crane ship concept and the start-up of A2SEA back in 2000, has wanted to try his strengths on new challenges for quite some time. Therefore, A2SEA and Mr Thomsen have agreed that he will resign his position as a business development manager within A2SEA at the beginning of March 2006, and that he can continue with other activities outside A2SEA, including consulting services for the wind turbine industry.
