Peterson Energy Logistics has been awarded an integrated logistics contract from Apache North Sea Limited.

The international logistics company will deliver quayside, receipt and dispatch, and fuel services from its bases in Aberdeen and Edzell.

Chris Coull, Managing Director for Scotland at Peterson Energy Logistics, said:
“We look forward to working with Apache North Sea to support its northeast logistics requirements.

“Our suite of technology and commitment to carbon reduction initiatives complements our track record in the UKCS.

“This contract award recognises the hard work of our teams across the business as we continue to deliver safe, efficient and sustainable logistics for the energy industry.”

Peterson will recruit approximately 50 staff to support the contract, offering job opportunities in Aberdeen and Edzell which in turn will help support the local economy.

“A high percentage of our vendors are located within a short distance of Aberdeen Port so managing our logistics from the city will have a positive impact on reducing transportation and carbon emissions,” said Jillian Owen, Apache North Sea U.K. Country Manager. 

“Furthermore, there will be more opportunities on offer to vessel share with other Peterson customers. Technology focussed logistics will lead to improved reporting and data analysis with digitalisation supporting our team with real-time reporting.”

The award boosts Peterson’s quayside activity by an additional 80,000 tonnes, forming 20% of the company’s overall activity for the year.

The contract has commenced this month following a 12-week transition period.
