Rhenus Offshore Logistics launches an offshore cargo service with fixed prices to wind parks in the German Bight

Consolidating the individual departures of vessels to save costs: Rhenus Offshore Logistics has just started a consolidation service this month with fixed prices for cargo runs to wind parks out at sea. Customers can now arrange supply and disposal services for their platforms and the ships operating at the construction sites at fixed prices for each vessel departing from Emden and Cuxhaven – at any time of day or night.

“We handled at least a dozen of these trips to offshore wind parks for two or more customers during the second half of 2014. Based on the experience gained from these operations, we’ve been able to develop a product that takes the costs incurred much more transparent than in the past by offering a fixed price,” Thore Schreiber, who is responsible for this project at Rhenus Offshore Logistics, explains. “The multi-user approach also creates savings that we can pass on to our customers.”

“In doing so, we make use of all the capacity available within the Rhenus network for offshore cargo runs heading for the wind parks. The customer has just one contact partner and a fixed price for each supply trip; as a result, we provide clarity and efficiency when handling this task,” Björn Wittek, Managing Director of Rhenus Offshore Logistics, adds.

Rhenus Offshore Logistics was founded in the summer of 2014. The business unit, which has its headquarters in Bremen and local offices in Cuxhaven and Emden, pools the Rhenus Group’s logistics activities in the offshore sector. One major focus of its operations is geared towards offering supply and disposal services for high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) converter platforms and substations at the wind parks in the German Bight and the jack-up vessels operating there.
