  • With more than four decades of experience in project logistics, Rhenus supports the energy transition alongside booming global renewables
  • The logistics solution provider’s integrated services from transport through customs, installation, maintenance and reverse logistics position Rhenus as a go-to-partner for developers worldwide
  • Recent marquee projects cement Rhenus as a trusted partner in wind, solar and grid-infrastructure logistics

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2025 – In 2024, renewable energy saw a record capacity growth worldwide, with 585 Gigawatt (GW) added, representing an overall annual growth of around 15%, which was largely driven by solar and wind energy. However, experts warn that in order to triple renewable energy generation capacity by 2030 and reach the COP28 goal of 45% renewables share within global electricity, a further increase of new installations is needed. Many companies, supported by national renewables installation goals, are preparing to further amp up their projects.

In pole position for the renewables market

Rhenus is well-positioned to support this surge, drawing on more than 40 years of project logistics expertise and a track record of successful renewables installations over the years. The company has been active in European offshore and onshore wind projects since the early 2000s and expanded its project logistics footprint in the US and Canada as well as the APAC region early on. In 2023, Rhenus also further extended its offshore and onshore operations in Newfoundland, Eastern Canada.

In 2011, Rhenus first supported projects for the integration of offshore wind energy into the international grids by handling the logistics of cable drums. Today, this branch within the project logistics department has become the daily business, with Rhenus regularly transporting wind energy components as well as parts for hydroelectric, biomass power plants and even Direct Air Capture systems.

Global activities in renewables on the rise

In Europe – where 47% electricity came from renewables in 2024 and 16 GW were added in wind, 65 GW in solar energy – Rhenus was heavily involved in the connectivity projects for the German corridor, which connects offshore and onshore wind farms, solar parks and other renewable energy sources to the German grid. For the projects SuedLink, SuedOstLink, A-Nord and BorWin/ DolWin 4, Rhenus has transported and is continuing to transport more than 2,700 cable drums. In 2025 and beyond, Rhenus is also taking care of the reverse logistics of empty cable drums, either back to the production sites or to the recycling facilities.

In the APAC region, Rhenus handled roughly 500 shipments in 2024 that directly served renewable energy and energy transition-related projects, which included wind energy components, transformers, solar equipment and related EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) infrastructure. Recently, Rhenus shipped 300 flat-racks and 200 general containers for a global wind turbine OEM in China. “The energy transition is strongly driving more projects tied to renewable infrastructure development and associated investment in the region,” said Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics.

In the USA, Rhenus has branched out into the transport of hydrogen fuel cells, which are used to generate power by converting hydrogen into electricity without combustion. In 2025 alone, Rhenus has completed over 100 fuel cell installations along the East Coast of the US. At least 20 more installations are planned for the coming months.

Dedicated service expansion

In addition, Rhenus is a reliable partner for offshore platform support duties in the North Atlantic, North Sea and the Baltic Sea, for which the specialized service provider conducts regular maintenance, crew and supply runs, manages offshore container depots and organizes recycling through its sister company REMONDIS. “In the coming years, we expect the recycling and replacement of older windmills that have reached their lifespan to be a major additional focus and have developed complete supply chain concepts that will efficiently support customers in this market,” adds Bjoern Wittek, Managing Director of Rhenus Offshore Logistics.

Besides recycling and dismantling as a new service area, Rhenus also focuses on providing customers with alternate routing for their project and renewables transports: A recent contract with ENERCON features a barge reconstruction in order to transport wind turbine blades of up to 86 meters in length through the North German canals instead of via roads and motorways, bypassing traffic jams and complicated road transport permits and safeguarding just-in-time deliveries of the components to the ENERCON construction sites. “Using the waterways as an alternative to road transport holds even more potential. With inland navigation as our historic origin, Rhenus operates around 1,000 vessels every day, around half of which are our own barges. This makes us Europe’s largest inland waterway transport operator with units in all sizes, from self-propelled vessels to push convoys. We are well-equipped and able to expand this offering for our customers – even beyond the European waterways,” explains Marc Regenbogen, Head of Shipping at Rhenus PartnerShip.

Providing sustainable transport options

“For Rhenus, sustainability means meeting today’s needs without compromising the future. We are a key enabler in our customers’ decarbonization strategies, where we perceive a rising demand for efficient transport with a reduced CO2 footprint,” explains Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics. As part of this strategy, Rhenus has implemented and continues to invest in the use of sustainable transport modes and alternative fuels.

This includes pilot projects to test alternative drive systems, such as the first hybrid push-barge combination using hydrogen fuel cells, batteries and state-of-the-art diesel engines operated with HVO100 that went into operation on the Rhine in January 2025.

In Spain, Rhenus is testing renewable fuels together with its customer Bosch, reducing road freight emissions by more than 80%. In June 2025, Rhenus and Merck also launched a biodiesel B100-powered shuttle service between Merck’s site in Molsheim and the Rhenus warehouse in Strasbourg, France, achieving a consistent 55% reduction in emissions.

Even in air freight, Rhenus offers customers a calculation tool, RHEGREEN, in order to reduce transport emissions by choosing the most efficient and sustainable flight connection, aircraft and routing. In December 2024, Rhenus joined Air France KLM Martinair Cargo’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) program in order to reinforce its commitment to reducing emissions for air freight and supporting customers’ ESG targets.

Investments into a sustainable future

Overall, these collected efforts, projects and commitment underline the Rhenus Group’s impact on the renewables market and reinforce its position as a renewable project logistics market leader. From its scalable infrastructure and practices to reduce lead times and logistics carbon footprint to providing complete end-to-end project logistics services, Rhenus creates a streamlined value chain for its energy customers. “As the renewables market accelerates, Rhenus is uniquely equipped to meet the logistical challenges of complex, large-scale energy infrastructure. We will continue to invest in low-carbon assets and transport solutions and expand our renewables-dedicated logistics hubs, such as the port terminal in Cuxhaven, Germany, the Maasvlakte terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, or sustainable warehouses across Europe, the Americas, India and the APAC region,” adds Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics.

Features case studies on successful automation implementations for commercial mining operations at scale in Australia

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DJI Enterprise today released a new white paper, “Implementing an Automated Mining Workflow using DJI Dock: How to guide for successfully integrating the DJI Dock into your mining operations.” The report provides industry leaders in the commercial mining industry with a practical, field‑tested roadmap for transitioning from manual drone operations to a fully-automated drone program for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) missions. By automating workflows, mine operations can conduct more frequent inspections to enable rapid decision-making, standardize data capture and reporting, and improve worker safety and efficiency across pits, plants, and infrastructure.

DJI Enterprise Releases New White Paper on Automating Mining Workflows with DJI Docks

Best Practices for Implementing Automated Workflows

Globally, mining is a massive and growing industry, recording revenues in excess of US$3 trillion in 2023. Today, automation technologies are revolutionizing mining operations, leading to greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The white paper outlines the process for implementing an end‑to‑end automated mining workflow built on DJI’s drone-in-box enterprise solution, DJI Dock, and flight control software, FlightHub 2, including:

  • Automating End-to-End Workflows: The White Paper details how operators can use the DJI Dock to plan missions remotely, scheduling flights, and pilot the docked drones on‑demand. It also provides a step-by-step breakdown on how to automate data processing for existing photogrammetry software with FlightHub 2. For example, automated volumetric measurements of ore stockpile inventory can be conducted via geotechnical models.
  • Regulatory Navigation and Operational Infrastructure: The White Paper explains how to navigate regulatory requirements for scaling responsibility. This covers licensing pathways for requirements such as Remote Pilot License (RePL), BVLOS approvals, Outside Controlled Airspace (OCTA), Instrument Rating Examination (IREX), and Specific Operation Risk Assessment (SORA) based BVLOS approvals, Remote Operating Centre (ROC) certification and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design. It also outlines essential processes, including redundancy and fatigue management, emergency drills, and stakeholder engagement for complex airspace.

DJI Docks Drives Increase in Productivity for Mining Operations

By implementing an automated mining workflow using the DJI Dock, mining operations can achieve an increase in productivity when compared to manual drone flights and data processing. The improved efficiency is mainly due to the elimination of traveling to the inspection site, on-site staffing of drone pilots, and redundant photogrammy processing tasks. Tests found that the time required to capture and process a post-blast photogrammy survey fell from 1.2 hours to 30 minutes. With a single DJI Dock, remote pilots working eight hour shifts could perform approximately 150-200 flights (up to 50 flight hours) per month. Meanwhile, automated ground control points (GCP) markings further saved as much as 94% of time in data processing. This allowed for trigger-based data captures for If This Than That (IFTTT) processing and reporting when changes or objects were detected.

Automation Enhances Worker Safety in Mining Operations

Mine sites are inherently hazardous with operations involving large mobile machinery, open voids, blasting activities, and much more. Automated workflows enable operators to conduct more frequent inspections while working safely at a Remote Operations Center (ROC) — away from pit faces, blast zones, and tailing and hypersaline pipelines. Operationally, blast movements can be quickly analyzed for safer restarts with automated workflows. Likewise, repeatable surveys and inspections can be performed more frequently. When paired with intelligent analysis and alerts, operators can ensure assets and pipelines stay in working condition, environmental compliance requirements are met after rain events, and infrastructure development progresses properly.

Case Studies for Implementing Automated Mining Workflows at Scale

The White Paper features two case studies documenting the best practices of two Australian mining operations. At Rio Tinto’s Gudai‑Darri iron ore mine in the Pilbara region, the resilience of automated drone operations were demonstrated under extreme heat, dust, and cyclone‑prone conditions. Not only did this improve worker safety and operational efficiency, it also enabled data‑driven decision‑making through remotely monitored flights and automatic recharging. At the Paddington Operations in Kalgoorlie, the DJI Dock was used to conduct aerial surveys of post-blast muckpiles. With AI-driven modeling, operators could improve grade control, reduce ore dilution and lower processing costs by sending higher‑quality ore to the processing plant.
