MEMBER NEWS: Peterson Energy Logistics expands into Australia

International energy logistics provider Peterson, part of the Royal Peterson Control Union Group, has announced expansion plans into Australia with the appointment of Ruaridh Hamilton as Australia Country Manager and the opening of a new office in Perth.

Sarah Moore, CEO of Peterson Energy Logistics, said: “We’re pleased to officially announce our expansion plans and begin Peterson’s journey in Australia. This strategic investment has been in the works for a considerable time and is an important part of Peterson’s future growth plans.”

It is through a broader lens that Peterson enters the region, with Control Union activities forming part of ambitious plans to anchor in the state, and with key strategic partnerships with leading infrastructure and supply chain partners, Peterson’s entry in to this new geography seeks to bring new models to Western Australia and support the state’s vision towards a clean energy future.

Ruaridh Hamilton, Peterson’s Australia Country Manager, commented: “We are excited by the potential in the region and look forward to supporting current and new clients from across all industries with our proven integrated supply chain solutions.”

Australia is one of Peterson’s frontier regions and the centre of the company’s vision for delivering industry-leading logistics and consultancy services to clients operating in the region.

Peterson has been delivering integrated logistics services for more than 50 years and is established in key energy hubs around the world with operations in the UK, Netherlands, Guyana, Trinidad, Qatar and now Australia. The company’s new office will be located in Perth at Level 28, 140 St Georges Terrace.

Peterson is part of the wider Royal Peterson Control Union Group, which already has an established presence in Australia, with CIS Control Union Australia delivering commodity inspection and certification services for clients in the region for more than 30 years.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
