Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler, stated during a January 2024 presentation that the company is fully funded for its capital expenditure projects involving new vessels and cranes and does not need to issue new equity under current plans. He acknowledged headwinds in the offshore wind industry in 2023, including project pauses and cancellations, particularly in the US market, but said these projects are "coming back on track again." Gleerup noted that without circumventing the Jones Act, the US offshore wind market would not develop, and that Cadeler plans to work in the US this year using a foreign-flag vessel with a "barge and feedering method." Gleerup also discussed the company's strategic focus on building a pipeline of work rather than deploying vessels for small, remote projects, citing utilization as a key driver. He expressed gratitude for shareholder support following a merger, describing it as "absolutely phenomenal," and committed to working "bloody hard" to deliver on that confidence.
