was a radical and innovative logistics concept that required two vessels to be designed and built from scratch. Further, as wind turbines and their associated components have continued to increase in size, Siemens Gamesa has committed to modifying Deugro’s ships, editing both their length and width in order to accommodate larger components.
Indeed, these are fantastic foundations from which the firm can further diversify away from oil and gas. And Deugro isn’t planning on stopping at offshore wind, the company now also marketing its logistics solutions within segments such as cabling, subsea infrastructure and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
The impact of these efforts cannot be understated. Siemens’ Gamesa has benefited from an 18% reduction in offshore wind supply chain costs as a result of Deugro’s bespoke and innovative solution, while unpredictability has been significantly reduced where cargo no longer needs to leave the ground.
Oil and gas activities now account for just 50% of company revenue, and while the Siemens Gamesa contract is the company’s largest in the renewables space, it is a milestone that simply outlines the edge of new horizons for the firm moving forward.

About Deugro
• In logistics, everything is possible. Solutions of the next 5-10 years have not been designed yet. • The UK has shown it can lead in the low-carbon segment, but the country needs drive, commitment and innovation For government • UK Export Financing (UKEF) is too focused on UK manufacturing. Value should also be allocated to logistic services. • A tangible path is needed for energy transition, not vague 20-year commitments.
