Energy Logistics

Energy Coal LogisticsIn a context of growing energy needs, where coal generates more than 40% of the world’s electricity production, LD Ports & Logistics have developed and implemented specific energy logistics solutions adapted to the supply of thermal power plant. LD Ports & Logistics’ focus is to design, build and operate efficient and innovative technical answers to cope with today’s energy logistics issues; these solutions will help unlock value and make brownfield and greenfield projects both operationally feasible and economically viable.

Such solutions are based on our extensive energy logistics skills acquired over years of experience in complex areas of operation such as Indonesia orIndia.  Our integration of design, building and operations capabilities gives us the ability to customize logistics solutions to each individual operation;  for example, barging might require shallow draft barges or self-propelled barges to accommodate river bends etc. This unique ability to manage integrated maritime energy logistics projects - from design to execution of operations on the field – allows us to create highly customized maritime solutions for thermal power plants we operate with.

Our involvement in designing and delivering operations gives us the confidence to approach energy companies as long-term partners. We believe in the reliability and economic efficiency of our solutions and are able to co-invest with our clients in the solutions we develop. This partnership approach aligns incentives between User and Operator and ensures promises are delivered.

We have become experts in port management and off-shore unloading operations. In particular, we have experience in operating and maintaining coal unloading jetties for thermal power plants. With this experience, combined with our history in barging, transshipment and shipowning, we are the ideal partner for long-term energy logistics solutions.

We can also design and operate maritime energy logistics solutions to supply thermal power stations in challenging conditions. We have developed highly reliable services in transshipment and barging aimed at enabling importers to continue generating power without having to make costly infrastructure investments in a traditional port. Depending on the maturity and operational constraints, as well as the volumes produced, these energy logistics solutions include using  a range of floating transshipment units such as high-capacity floating cranes, transhippers and effective barging solutions such as 12,000 to 15,000 DWT large capacity tugs and barges or self-propelled barges with high-fuel efficiency.
