Rhenus Reinforces Global Leadership in Renewable Energy Project Logistics
- With more than four decades of experience in project logistics, Rhenus supports the energy transition alongside booming global renewables
- The logistics solution provider’s integrated services from transport through customs, installation, maintenance and reverse logistics position Rhenus as a go-to-partner for developers worldwide
- Recent marquee projects cement Rhenus as a trusted partner in wind, solar and grid-infrastructure logistics
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2025 – In 2024, renewable energy saw a record capacity growth worldwide, with 585 Gigawatt (GW) added, representing an overall annual growth of around 15%, which was largely driven by solar and wind energy. However, experts warn that in order to triple renewable energy generation capacity by 2030 and reach the COP28 goal of 45% renewables share within global electricity, a further increase of new installations is needed. Many companies, supported by national renewables installation goals, are preparing to further amp up their projects.
In pole position for the renewables market
Rhenus is well-positioned to support this surge, drawing on more than 40 years of project logistics expertise and a track record of successful renewables installations over the years. The company has been active in European offshore and onshore wind projects since the early 2000s and expanded its project logistics footprint in the US and Canada as well as the APAC region early on. In 2023, Rhenus also further extended its offshore and onshore operations in Newfoundland, Eastern Canada.
In 2011, Rhenus first supported projects for the integration of offshore wind energy into the international grids by handling the logistics of cable drums. Today, this branch within the project logistics department has become the daily business, with Rhenus regularly transporting wind energy components as well as parts for hydroelectric, biomass power plants and even Direct Air Capture systems.
Global activities in renewables on the rise
In Europe – where 47% electricity came from renewables in 2024 and 16 GW were added in wind, 65 GW in solar energy – Rhenus was heavily involved in the connectivity projects for the German corridor, which connects offshore and onshore wind farms, solar parks and other renewable energy sources to the German grid. For the projects SuedLink, SuedOstLink, A-Nord and BorWin/ DolWin 4, Rhenus has transported and is continuing to transport more than 2,700 cable drums. In 2025 and beyond, Rhenus is also taking care of the reverse logistics of empty cable drums, either back to the production sites or to the recycling facilities.
In the APAC region, Rhenus handled roughly 500 shipments in 2024 that directly served renewable energy and energy transition-related projects, which included wind energy components, transformers, solar equipment and related EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) infrastructure. Recently, Rhenus shipped 300 flat-racks and 200 general containers for a global wind turbine OEM in China. “The energy transition is strongly driving more projects tied to renewable infrastructure development and associated investment in the region,” said Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics.
In the USA, Rhenus has branched out into the transport of hydrogen fuel cells, which are used to generate power by converting hydrogen into electricity without combustion. In 2025 alone, Rhenus has completed over 100 fuel cell installations along the East Coast of the US. At least 20 more installations are planned for the coming months.
Dedicated service expansion
In addition, Rhenus is a reliable partner for offshore platform support duties in the North Atlantic, North Sea and the Baltic Sea, for which the specialized service provider conducts regular maintenance, crew and supply runs, manages offshore container depots and organizes recycling through its sister company REMONDIS. “In the coming years, we expect the recycling and replacement of older windmills that have reached their lifespan to be a major additional focus and have developed complete supply chain concepts that will efficiently support customers in this market,” adds Bjoern Wittek, Managing Director of Rhenus Offshore Logistics.
Besides recycling and dismantling as a new service area, Rhenus also focuses on providing customers with alternate routing for their project and renewables transports: A recent contract with ENERCON features a barge reconstruction in order to transport wind turbine blades of up to 86 meters in length through the North German canals instead of via roads and motorways, bypassing traffic jams and complicated road transport permits and safeguarding just-in-time deliveries of the components to the ENERCON construction sites. “Using the waterways as an alternative to road transport holds even more potential. With inland navigation as our historic origin, Rhenus operates around 1,000 vessels every day, around half of which are our own barges. This makes us Europe’s largest inland waterway transport operator with units in all sizes, from self-propelled vessels to push convoys. We are well-equipped and able to expand this offering for our customers – even beyond the European waterways,” explains Marc Regenbogen, Head of Shipping at Rhenus PartnerShip.
Providing sustainable transport options
“For Rhenus, sustainability means meeting today’s needs without compromising the future. We are a key enabler in our customers’ decarbonization strategies, where we perceive a rising demand for efficient transport with a reduced CO2 footprint,” explains Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics. As part of this strategy, Rhenus has implemented and continues to invest in the use of sustainable transport modes and alternative fuels.
This includes pilot projects to test alternative drive systems, such as the first hybrid push-barge combination using hydrogen fuel cells, batteries and state-of-the-art diesel engines operated with HVO100 that went into operation on the Rhine in January 2025.
In Spain, Rhenus is testing renewable fuels together with its customer Bosch, reducing road freight emissions by more than 80%. In June 2025, Rhenus and Merck also launched a biodiesel B100-powered shuttle service between Merck’s site in Molsheim and the Rhenus warehouse in Strasbourg, France, achieving a consistent 55% reduction in emissions.
Even in air freight, Rhenus offers customers a calculation tool, RHEGREEN, in order to reduce transport emissions by choosing the most efficient and sustainable flight connection, aircraft and routing. In December 2024, Rhenus joined Air France KLM Martinair Cargo’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) program in order to reinforce its commitment to reducing emissions for air freight and supporting customers’ ESG targets.
Investments into a sustainable future
Overall, these collected efforts, projects and commitment underline the Rhenus Group’s impact on the renewables market and reinforce its position as a renewable project logistics market leader. From its scalable infrastructure and practices to reduce lead times and logistics carbon footprint to providing complete end-to-end project logistics services, Rhenus creates a streamlined value chain for its energy customers. “As the renewables market accelerates, Rhenus is uniquely equipped to meet the logistical challenges of complex, large-scale energy infrastructure. We will continue to invest in low-carbon assets and transport solutions and expand our renewables-dedicated logistics hubs, such as the port terminal in Cuxhaven, Germany, the Maasvlakte terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, or sustainable warehouses across Europe, the Americas, India and the APAC region,” adds Moritz Becker, Co-VP Director of Rhenus Project Logistics.

In response to these changing needs, SL Aesthetic Group has expanded its medical services beyond skin and hair treatments, introducing more than 40 new offerings across its five specialised brand portfolios, including women’s health services.
Dr Kelvin Chua, Founder and Senior Medical Director of SL Aesthetic Group, said: “Reaching 22 years reflects the continuity of care we have built over time. As patient expectations change, our focus remains on delivering medically supervised services that support long-term health and well-being.”
As part of this expansion, the Group launched Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic and Prologue Centre for Women’s Wellness in 2025. Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic focuses on preventive care for chronic conditions, supported by artificial intelligence–enabled health screenings for early detection of conditions such as dementia and cancer. Meanwhile, Prologue Centre for Women’s Wellness addresses women’s health needs across different life stages, including perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum recovery.
Within Singapore, the group strengthened its physical presence with the opening of its tenth SL Aesthetic Clinic and SkinLab The Medical Spa outlet at iMall in Marine Parade, as a response to strong and sustained demand from patients in the eastern region.
Regionally, SL Aesthetic Group marked a milestone as its Malaysia-based brand, Euphie — comprising Euphie Skin Solutions and Euphie Clinic — celebrated its first anniversary. Building on this foundation, the Group plans to open an additional outlet in Malaysia, extending its medically supervised services to a wider patient base.
Looking ahead, SL Aesthetic Group plans to continue expanding its clinical footprint while maintaining regulatory compliance, clinical standards, and patient safety.

Zero-Emission Technology Underpins the Future of Urban Living
As an economy reaches a new stage of development, the central question is no longer how fast it can grow, but how well it can sustain that growth over time. The development trajectories of many countries show that crossing an income threshold often brings complex structural pressures: Mounting strain on urban infrastructure, environmental degradation, and higher expectations for quality of life.
In this context, traditional growth models, those that prioritize short-term economic returns, begin to reveal their limitations. What emerges instead is a clear demand for development paradigms in which economic performance, environmental resilience, and social value are conceived together from the outset, rather than treated as sequential or secondary considerations.
For Vietnam, this transition is particularly significant as global capital flows increasingly favor ESG-aligned markets, and urban residents shift from a focus on asset ownership to a more holistic pursuit of living quality and long-term wellbeing. Real estate, therefore, is no longer simply a supply-and-demand equation, but a foundational platform for shaping lifestyles, communities, and sustainable urban ecosystems.
It is precisely within this structural shift that Vinhomes Green Paradise is positioned as a forward-looking benchmark, reflecting the long-term vision of Vinhomes to develop real estate on an “ESG++ from the ground up” foundation, where sustainability is not an added feature, but the core architecture that underpins enduring economic and social value.
Geography as Destiny: A Living Natural Heritage
Many believe that Vinhomes Green Paradise is a “new wonder” of modern society, bringing together a rare convergence of forward-looking planning, contemporary living standards, and visionary development. Yet beyond its scale or sophistication, its very location is a wonder in itself. It is a place where human intelligence and capability are applied not to dominate nature, but to collaborate with it, leveraging an irreplaceable “forest-backed, sea-facing” setting that cannot be replicated, while preserving, restoring, and ultimately giving back to the natural environment.
Among more than 90 submissions from across the globe, New7Wonders selected Vinhomes Green Paradise as the first project worldwide to receive the “Official Participant” certification in the global “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign.
“This is a truly exceptional project,” said Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Director of New7Wonders and Chairman of the global campaign. “Vinhomes Green Paradise is a ‘precious jewel’, a place that is exceptional for living, working, and enjoying life. The project symbolizes the kind of cities that dare to dream, dare to pave new paths, and dare to break boundaries to realize a future where nature, community, and growth coexist in harmony.”
According to him, this spirit is exactly what the world is seeking in the cities of tomorrow.
After personally visiting the site in Can Gio, Jean-Paul de la Fuente identified the project’s geography as its most irreplaceable asset. Spanning 2,870 hectares, Vinhomes Green Paradise is uniquely positioned between two globally significant ecosystems. To the front lies the vast Pacific Ocean, with 121 kilometers of coastline. Behind it stretches the 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, recognized by UNESCO.
At the heart of the megacity sits an 800-hectare saltwater lagoon, the largest of its kind in the world, functioning as a natural ecological regulator, a “green heart” sustaining biodiversity, climate balance, and urban vitality.
Unlike many coastal developments around the world, nature here is not reduced to a backdrop. It is treated as a living heritage, actively preserved and regenerated through dedicated mangrove restoration funds that protect not only the project, but also the ecological shield of Ho Chi Minh City.
While many global developments aim to comply with ESG standards, Vinhomes Green Paradise goes further, introducing an ESG++ model built on five pillars: Environment, Social, Governance, Regeneration, and Adaptation.
This approach reflects a paradigm shift in urban development. Cities of the future must not merely “do less harm”. They must actively give back to nature and society.
Jean-Paul emphasized the importance of this vision: “Future sustainable cities must not ‘take’ from nature, they must ‘give back,’ helping restore and nurture the planet.”
This regenerative mindset is embedded from the earliest stages of construction. Advanced K-DPM technology transforms dredged soft mud into durable construction material, completely eliminating waste discharge into the environment, a breakthrough in large-scale coastal development.
Technology as the City’s Invisible Infrastructure
If nature is the soul of Vinhomes Green Paradise, technology is its invisible nervous system. The entire megacity is designed to operate on 100% clean energy, sourced from offshore wind turbines located 20 kilometers from shore and large-scale solar systems. Transportation within the city and connections to central Ho Chi Minh City are oriented toward zero emissions, supported by electric mobility and high-speed rail.
IoT, AI, and Big Data platforms operate continuously to monitor environmental quality, optimize energy use, and provide early warnings for climate-related risks, ensuring resilience in an era of increasing uncertainty.
One of the core criteria of the “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign is placing people at the heart of urban design. At Vinhomes Green Paradise, this principle is elevated further: Residents are not passive beneficiaries, but active co-creatorsof the city.
The megacity features globally scaled cultural and lifestyle landmarks, including a 122-hectare entertainment complex, the 7-hectare Blue Waves Theatre with 5,000 seats, an outdoor performance plaza for 60,000 people, two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Tiger Woods and Robert Trent Jones, a 108-story tower among the world’s top 10 tallest, and the Cosmo Bay night-time economy hub.
Healthcare, education, and lifelong wellbeing are equally prioritized, with Vinmec healthcare partnering with Cleveland Clinic (USA), Vinschool and Brighton College (UK) in education, and Vin New Horizon redefining senior living. Together, they form an ecosystem where human potential is continuously nurtured.
Residents also play a direct role in environmental stewardship, participating in biodiversity monitoring, mangrove planting, waste sorting, and adopting electric mobility, becoming true “ecological ambassadors” of Can Gio.
The Wonders of the Future Are Being Built Today
For Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Vinhomes Green Paradise represents far more than an urban project.
“The project is positioned as a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s national aspirations and its determination to assert its place on the global stage. What was seen on site is only a small part of a much larger vision,” he said.
Reflecting on the impact of previous New7Wonders campaigns, he noted: “The previous two campaigns, ‘New7Wonders of the World’ and ‘New7Wonders of Nature’, both generated what researchers call the ‘Wonder Effect,’ significantly boosting the economies and societies of the winning destinations.”
Drawing a parallel with Ha Long Bay, he added that he truly believe Vinhomes Green Paradise can achieve something similar, but on an even larger scale, competing directly with iconic cities around the world.”
As Jean-Paul concluded: “If our previous campaigns celebrated the heritage of the past and the beauty of the present, then the ‘7 Wonders of Future Cities’ campaign celebrates the vision being created for future generations.”
“The wonders of the future are taking shape today through the choices, creativity, and determination of pioneering urban planners and developers.”
In that global narrative, Vinhomes Green Paradise stands as a powerful testament to Vietnam’s ambition: A city where geography itself is a wonder, where growth does not compromise the future, and where nature, technology, and humanity evolve together, creating a legacy not just for Vietnam, but for the world.
