Empire Energy and logistics company Kuehne+Nagel have announced a strategic partnership aimed at supporting offshore wind developers and manufacturers with an integrated project delivery and logistics service.
The collaboration will combine offshore wind technical expertise with global supply chain capabilities, offering services such as turbine assembly, heavy-lift transport, port staging, commissioning, operations, and international freight forwarding.
“This partnership is about more than logistics and delivery, it is about leadership,” said Empire Energy President Mike Milledge. “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, one of the world’s largest logistics providers, said the alliance will help meet growing demand for specialised transport solutions in the offshore wind industry.
“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,” said Felipe Cecilio, global project logistics solutions manager at Kuehne+Nagel. “Together with Empire Energy, we will be able to provide tailored solutions to meet each customer’s needs.”
The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the partnership.
