MEMBER NEWS: Peterson wins logistics contract from Harbour Energy

Peterson Energy Logistics has been awarded a logistics contract from Harbour Energy to support its North Sea operations from Aberdeen.

The five-year fixed-term contract includes an option to extend for a further five years and will see Peterson deliver the full spectrum of carbon-neutral logistics services for Harbour Energy. The new agreement secures local jobs in Aberdeen and the Northeast of Scotland, and the longer contract duration provides a high degree of certainty for Peterson’s future operations.

Chris Coull, Managing Director for Scotland at Peterson, said: “We are pleased to announce this significant contract award and we will continue to support Harbour Energy’s operations in the Northeast of Scotland with best-in-class delivery of critical logistics services.

“This contract win is a testament to our team’s hard work and strong track record in providing safe and reliable logistics across our client base. We look forward to working closely with Harbour Energy in support of their business and sustainability objectives.”

Harbour Energy’s Executive Vice President-elect North Sea Scott Barr said: “Harbour Energy is looking forward to continuing its partnership with Peterson and working closely with them to deliver safe and efficient logistics in support of our North Sea operations.”

The full scope of services includes quayside vessel loading, road transport, MGO fuel, materials receipt and dispatch, and warehousing services which will be delivered by Peterson’s teams in Aberdeen and Edzell.

Peterson’s Lighthouse suite of logistics technology will be used to deliver real-time visibility of cargo and data providing valuable insights that contribute to the reduction of operational costs and emissions.

Harbour Energy is the largest independent operator in the UK and produces around 200,000 bbls per day across 11 locations from the Central North Sea, West of Shetland and Southern North Sea areas.

Peterson employs 400 staff in the Northeast of Scotland and the award of this contract will contribute to anchoring jobs in the local area.

The international logistics company achieved carbon neutral status at the end of 2022 and is carbon-neutral-certified across 34 sites in seven countries. Peterson has ambitious plans of reaching net zero operations by 2025, as part of its sustainability roadmap.

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.
