Rhenus to establish a designated company for offshore wind energy
Designated control centre in Bremen: Rhenus group bundles its activities for the offshore wind energy sector under one roof
The Rhenus group is repositioning itself in the logistics business for the offshore wind energy sector: the newly established company Rhenus Offshore Logistics GmbH & Co. KG started work as a central contact point for the industry at the beginning of August. With the help of experienced logistics professionals from Rhenus’ Bremen office, it can now provide the offshore sector with the skills and resources of the whole Rhenus group.
“The new start-up allows us to market our comprehensive logistics packages and develop them further in close dialogue with our clients. That means we are thepoint of contact and can, for example, integrate our own Rhenus port resources into individual projects,” Björn Wittek, Managing Director of Rhenus Offshore Logistics, explains. “In no way is our involvement limited to transport services to and from the ports: We are a true full-service provider.“
In addition to organising the up- and downstream transportation of components forwind turbines, the new company can, among other things, offer customsclearance, provide leased containers and even vessels and take over various supply and disposal services, including waste disposal for platforms on the high seas.
The first contract signed by the new company regulates supply and disposal logistics for the commissioning of four converter platforms in the German Bight.
The range of services agreed in the contract has already been extended in a second phase. Rhenus has also taken over materials coordination on one of themaritime platforms.
