Empire Energy and Kuehne+Nagel have formed a partnership to combine offshore wind project delivery with global logistics.
The duo said developers and OEMs would benefit from “technical know-how, scale and foresight” by using the new integrated solution that includes turbine assembly, commissioning and operations, heavy lift transport, port staging and international freight forwarding.
Empire Energy president Mike Milledge said: “This partnership is about more than logistics and delivery, it is about leadership. Offshore wind OEMs and developers want confidence that their most complex projects will be executed with certainty and vision.
“By uniting our offshore wind expertise with Kuehne+Nagel’s global logistics muscle, we are creating a new benchmark for what delivery in this sector should look like.”
Kuehne+Nagel global project logistics solutions manager Felipe Cecilio added: “Taking on complex offshore wind projects with transport of heavy and oversized cargo requires global experts who know how to handle complex supply chains, risk management and strict deadlines.
“Together with Empire Energy, we will be able to provide tailored solutions to meet each customer’s needs.”
