Peterson providing logistics services for East Anglia 3

Leading logistics and supply chain solutions provider Peterson has kickstarted a project to support the development of East Anglia 3 – a wind farm that will provide power for one million homes.

The seven-month contract with Siemens Energy sees Peterson responsible for aviation and emergency and response rescue vehicle (ERRV) requirements delivered from Norwich Airport and the Port of Lowestoft.

Peterson will manage around 30 flights a month, with associated ERRV sailings, for Siemens Energy, delivering the contract in partnership with ODE Asset Management.

Dario Nicodemo, Project Manager at Siemens Energy, said:

We are delighted to have Peterson’s expertise supporting the East Anglia 3 project. Their agile logistics solutions — from aviation coordination to ERRV operations — are a vital enabler for the safe and efficient delivery. The professionalism and dedication shown by Peterson and their partners ensure that our teams and all EA3 contractors can focus on building one of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms, confident that critical movements and emergency arrangements are in safe hands. We value their commitment and look forward to continuing this strong collaboration throughout the campaign.”

Peterson is also working with its long-term customer Jack-up Barge to manage its crew coordination and changes from Norwich Airport, including immigration, accommodation, and transfer requirements.

Jason Hendry, Interim Managing Director UK at Peterson, said:

East Anglia 3 is a nationally important renewable energy project, and the development of this 100-turbine development is a significant undertaking.

“The movement of expert teams to and from this project is an incredibly important part of the puzzle and we are delighted to be working with ODE Asset Management for Siemens Energy to ensure this is a smooth process.

“Our logistics expertise has been honed over many decades, and we understand the complexities of major development projects such as this and are able to deftly respond with agile services.”

Shaun Hutchinson, Technical Services Director at ODE Asset Management Ltd, added:

We’re delighted to be working with Peterson to deliver helicopter services, using capacity in our sole-use airframe, to Siemens Energy supporting the East Anglia 3 development. This collaboration highlights again the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to safety, efficiency and sustainability. By promoting the sharing of high-value resources, we’re helping to drive a more connected and efficient offshore energy sector in the region.”

Peterson’s experience in major offshore wind development projects also includes its fully integrated lead logistics role for GE Vernova as part of the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm development at the Doggerbank, delivered from Den Helder and Lowestoft.
