Peterson Energy Logistics will support Perenco’s operations in the Southern North Sea (SNS) from the Port of Lowestoft.
Peterson has secured a contract to provide cargo operations, warehousing, and road transport for a period of at least three years from its supply base at Town Quay following a successful trial in 2023.
Up to 20 quayside and warehousing personnel will service the contract on a 24/7 basis.
David Waters, Planning & Logistics Manager SNS at Perenco, said: 'We are pleased to have appointed the experienced team at Peterson to manage this element of our operations. We look forward to developing this relationship as we work to create solutions which increase the lifespan of the world’s energy resources.'
Peterson has more than 850 personnel in the UK and Netherlands, with more than 30 in the East Anglia area. The company has a strong commitment and record in relation to safety and operational excellence and was one of the first energy logistics companies to secure Carbon Neutral PAS2060 status in 2022.
Jason Hendry, Joint Managing Director UK at Peterson Energy Logistics, added: 'Working in close partnership with Associated British Ports (ABP), we are delighted to have secured this contract with Perenco. Our considerable experience in port operations and control tower methodologies will deliver significant benefits over the long term, and we are looking forward to applying our culture of innovation and continuous improvement to enhance operational efficiency for this key client.'
Peterson has been active at Associated British Port’s (ABP) Port of Lowestoft for more than five years and recently reached the milestone of conducting cargo operations on 1000 vessels. The company’s supply base at Town Quay is well-equipped to support projects from across the energy spectrum including oil and gas, offshore wind, and nuclear industries.
The recently opened Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF) allows ABP and Peterson to service larger platform supply vessels and walk-to-work vessels offering additional flexibility to Perenco and other operators in the SNS.
Paul Litten, Head of Commercial at ABP which owns the Port of Lowestoft, said: 'This is a significant contract for the Port, and we are delighted to continue to strengthen our partnership with Peterson. LEEF is a significant investment by ABP in state-of-the-art infrastructure, which meets the current and future needs of our energy sector, and it is great that it is already being recognised as beneficial for Lowestoft.'
Peterson will provide an integrated end-to-end logistics service using its control tower methodology as a hub for the planning and coordination of critical resources. Its Lighthouse technology will provide full visibility and control through real-time data for digital assurance at each stage of the cargo demand process.
