Rhenus Offshore Logistics has set up its first UK office at the OrbisEnergy innovation and incubation centre in Lowestoft.
The company said the move is to cut costs and time for operations, crew transfers and supply deliveries to the growing east coast offshore renewables sector.
Rhenus UK business development manager Greg Howlett said the company had chosen OrbisEnergy because it “offered access to companies at all levels, from developers and operators to supply chain companies”.
He said: “Our clients were being managed from Germany so we wanted a UK office to build the business and look after current clients and build our client base.”
The company is also planning to set up an offshore container store on the east coast with an offshore container supplier, Howlett said.
“We are working with an offshore container supplier, who will supply us with a large number of offshore certified containers and we will store them at a yet to be decided depot with facilities to pack and move them up quayside with the facility to lift them on to vessels,” he said.
