Member News: Peterson strengthens supply chain position with new base at IJmuiden

Peterson Energy Logistics has opened a new base in IJmuiden, expanding its offering for customers in the Southern North Sea.

Through acquiring the assets of Ymond Offshore Logistics B.V., Peterson has strengthened its position as the logistics and supply chain partner of choice for the Dutch offshore energy sector with a new strategically located facility.

Peterson, which also operates from Den Helder, is an established and trusted partner of the energy industry, responsible for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods critical to the success of offshore operations.

Mark Hol, Head of Commercial Netherlands at Peterson, said:

This expansion strengthens our position in the Dutch offshore supply chain and adds a unique location to our network.

“The strategic positioning of these facilities in IJmuiden enables us to serve our customers more closely and efficiently, including supporting offshore wind operations and maintenance bases for offshore wind customers in the area.

“IJmuiden is a welcome addition to our presence at a broad network of ports in the Netherlands and UK servicing offshore operations in the North Sea and further allows us to tailor the most effective end-to-end logistics solutions for our customers.”

Peterson IJmuiden officially launched on 1st October, and the team is recruiting for a local Business Lead Offshore to deliver upon the strategic objectives for the site.

The acquisition includes three warehouses – two of which are located directly at the quayside enabling customers to store goods and equipment in immediate proximity to offshore operations, a unique offering at the Port of IJmuiden. The third warehouse, known as the shore base, offers a large yard and indoor storage close to the quayside and is ideally suited for large equipment, mobilisations, and long-term storage.

The comprehensive service offering includes port agency and ship agency services, customs clearance, and stevedoring with its own equipment, as well as storage and handling services, vessel chartering, CTV campaign support, and related logistics solutions.

Peterson Energy Logistics is part of Royal Peterson and Control Union, a Dutch family-owned company which employs 6000 people across 80 countries, headquartered in Rotterdam.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

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.

Scottish Renewables

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.
