Empire Energy, a renewable energy project management company, has entered into a partnership with global logistics provider Kuehne+Nagel. The collaboration aims to simplify and enhance the execution of offshore wind projects by combining Empire Energy’s sector expertise with Kuehne+Nagel’s supply chain and transport capabilities.
