Cornwall champions sustainable energy
Captain Parkinson has been at the forefront of promoting marine energy in the South West of England.
Captain Richard Parkinson, managing director of Mojo Maritime Limited of Cornwall UK has received a top honour at the 2009 South West Green Energy Awards ceremony, which took place in Bath earlier this month.
The award was presented to Captain Parkinson by Kelvyn Derrick, Chairman of RegenSW and Deputy Chairman of SWRDA (South West Regional Development Agency). In presenting the award Mr. Derrick commented, 'Captain Parkinson has been at the forefront of promoting marine energy in the South West, and at every conference, event and occasion has been an ambassador for the South West marine industry. Recently, in a meeting with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), his role was seen as a turning point in helping the south west secure its designation as a Low Carbon Economic Area for marine energy. At every opportunity he sells the benefits of investing in the region and the strengths of being in the South West.'
Captain Parkinson said, 'It is a privilege to receive this recognition of our achievements and we will continue to strive for the fulfilment of the low carbon economy in the marine sector in the region. Exciting projects such as wave hub provide an excellent opportunity for Cornwall to take the lead in developing marine energy and while there will be challenges there will also be excellent opportunities for the marine sector in the region'.
Based in Falmouth, Cornwall UK, Mojo Maritime are experts in Marine Operations and Marine Consultancy in the offshore renewable energy industry and are currently involved in the successful delivery of several high profile wind, wave and tidal projects.
