Rhenus, Seaway7 Extend Partnership

[ April 5, 2024   //   Gary G Burrows ]

Rhenus Port Logistics in Rotterdam and Seaway7 said they have extended their partnership with a new 10-year contract.
Already with 10 years under their belts, the companies have pledged to advance sustainability of their operations, through initiatives such as the use of electric cranes and forklifts, along with launching a pilot project for shore power.
The project falls within the wider aim of the Port of Rotterdam to roll out shore power in the entire port as an environmentally friendly and quiet method of powering ships.
“The location of the Rhenus terminal so close to the North Sea is incomparable and provides Seaway7 with the needed flexibility,” said Piet van Baalen, offshore resources director of Seaway7, a leading company in delivering offshore wind products. “Over the past decade, significant changes have occurred in our business, and in Rhenus, we find a partner that evolves with us, demonstrating a necessary mix of pragmatism and future orientation.”
Peter van der Steen, managing director of Rhenus Port Logistics Netherlands, emphasized the importance of safety in their partnership. “With Seaway7 as a long-term partner, we have learned from the highest level of safety in the industry, which is paramount to securing long-lasting business,” he said.
