Wind power is growing larger, more complex and more exposed to global disruption — and that is changing the role logistics plays in project delivery.
In this episode of Project Cargo Professionals, Siemens Energy's Ruediger Fromm explains why logistics can no longer be treated as an execution function. From turbine design and engineering through to project delivery, logistics is increasingly shaping decisions at every stage of the project lifecycle.
As Logistics Business Partner for Wind Power at Siemens Energy, Ruediger offers valuable insight into engineering, supply chain and project execution. Drawing on experience from both the shipper and heavy transport sides of the industry, he addresses the continued growth of offshore wind, the impact of geopolitical volatility on global supply chains, and why flexibility has become one of the most important attributes in modern project logistics.
We discuss data transparency, sustainability expectations, Europe's competitiveness, the challenge of attracting new talent and Ruediger's views on the growing trend towards integrated, one-stop-shop logistics providers.
Part of PCP’s Voices of Breakbulk Europe series, hosted by Luke King, this episode also explores:
