Danish shipping and logistics company Blue Water is opening two additional offices in the Middle East, in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Further expansion in the region is expected before the end of the year, the company states.
“We want to expand our global presence to serve current and future customers in the best possible way,” says Thomas Bek, Global Director of Energy & Projects at Blue Water. “Our customers in the energy sector operate internationally, and it is, therefore, a strategic objective that we continuously develop our organisation to meet the demand and expectations of the market.”
Blue Water has been active in the Middle East since the mid-1980s and has several offices in the area today. These offices cover different business areas, but the focus is on the energy sector and project transport, activities which are managed from its office in Dubai.
Within the Middle East it is expected that there will, over the next few years, be substantial investment in renewable energy. This is an area where Blue Water has been heavily involved in delivering transport and logistics solutions since the 1990s and it hopes to capitalise on market trends.
“With the new locations, we are in a significantly better position to provide local services in the region based on our international experience in offshore and onshore wind, solar energy and green hydrogen. We have seen a significant increase in demand for logistics services executed by those providers who can showcase experience in creating and implementing unique solutions that fit in with local conditions,” adds Peter Ehrhorn, Regional Director Middle East and CIS.
