Energy
For many years, Van der Vlist has been a leading player in the transport of wind turbines, transformers and other items within the energy sector. We not only provide road transport, but also facilitate multimodal solutions such as the chartering of inland waterway and seagoing vessels.
Wind energy
In recent years, we have transported wind turbines for many small and large wind farm projects in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France.
We have a complete fleet of specialised trailers for all wind turbine components. For tower sections and blades, our fully equipped terminal in Moerdijk serves as an excellent hub for storage and transhipment. This equipment enables us to handle even the largest projects.
For our wind farm projects, we have project and site managers who provide advice right from the preliminary phase on matters such as logistical options, feasibility studies and engineering. They then ensure that the project runs smoothly from start to finish.
Oil and gas
Within the oil and gas industry, we provide transport, storage and transhipment services for manufacturers of, amongst other things, steel pipes for marine contractors, such as pipe-laying vessels and offshore platform builders. We also handle the transport and storage of items including generator sets, transformers, motors, reactors and cable drums. In addition, we specialise in the on-site installation and assembly of large motors and gas turbines.
