Rhenus Midgard handles cable logistics project
Cable producer Nexus awards logistics order in the German port of Nordenham to Rhenus Midgard
About 30 kilometres of submarine cables were transported by Rhenus Midgard last May via cargo railway to the north German port of Nordenham. The order carried out on behalf of Nexans, one of the world’s leading producers in the cable industry, covers also storage and throughput services. The about 1,000 tonnes of submarine cables will connect some of the 111 wind turbines of Denmark’s largest offshore windpark Anholt. This project extends Rhenus Midgard’s logistics service range for the offshore industry.
„In the past years we have been preparing the port of Nordenham, which has a long tradition in coal throughput, for the offshore industry and we were able to establish in the niche market of submarine cable logistics. Moreover Nordenham provides access to the North Sea without locks“, Uwe Oppitz, Location Manager Rhenus Midgard in Nordenham, emphasises the advantages of the Lower Saxonian port area. Rhenus has been operating a peer in Nordenham, specially designed to meet the requirements of submarine cable logistics. The globally operating logistics group Rhenus has more than 19,000 employees at more than 290 locations and lately generated annual turnover of EUR 3.4 billion.
