Managing Asia’s most complex supply chain ecosystem – China Ofshore Wind Power

When facing the complex supply chain environment in China, one solution is to employ an independent Lead Logistics Management company. An independent company can provide neutral management of your supply chain, help you to minimize your costs and maximize eficiency, while also acting as the liaison between manufacturer and supply chain. They can provide strategic and consultative support, and manage certain processes where your team might have gaps in operational expertise, for example possibly quality control or equipment inspection. That is just what SWP did in 2008. They were establishing a blade factory production unit in Lingang Industrial Park, to complement an already existing outsourced tower manufacturing unit in Lianyungang, managed by CS Wind, and Nacelle and ofshore facilities that were incorporated in the Jiangsu and Shandong districts. SWP hired Turnkey as their dedicated LLP to help them develop an efective supply chain strategy, alongside the implementation of logistical solutions to assist SWP in executing a long term supply chain strategy. This white paper will discuss in detail how an independent Lead Logistics Management company, can support and benefit a wind energy company when entering the Chinese market and will provide specific examples from the SWP-Turnkey case study

Charging Solutions For Battery Electric Trucks

whitePaper | December 22, 2022

The battery-electric truck market is at an early stage, with fewer than 60,000 units in circulation worldwide, including approximately 20,000 units sold in 2021. Ninety percent of these were sold in China, and most were on the lighter side of the category, between 3.5 and 8 tons. However, significant growth in the market is expected in the coming years as more governments and truck manufacturers set combustion engine truck sales phase-out targets, more models become available, and production capacity is increased. A robust charging infrastructure ecosystem, along with sufficient grid capacity, must be deployed early enough not to impede the growth of the electric vehicle fleet.

Supply chain reinvention What you need to start and stop now

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic was a test of supply chain resiliency and most organizations fell short. Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line

10 PRINCIPLES TO DECARBONISE THE OSV INDUSTRY

whitePaper | June 21, 2022

The shipping industry as a whole accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the maritime industry in line with the Paris Agreement is essential to fighting climate change, and key to facilitating the decarbonisation of many other industries. This requires systemic industrywide change, the complexity of which cannot be understated. Many aspects of the transition to zero-carbon shipping are necessarily long-term endeavours, such as the development of green technology for a new generation of vessels. However, certain shortterm changes can be implemented to help accelerate this transition over the coming decade, until such technological solutions have matured.
