Niels-Hendrik Walch leads Rhenus’ Project Logistics business across Southeast Asia and Oceania from Bangkok. He combines regional commercial leadership with operational experience in heavy lift, breakbulk and multimodal transport for power, renewable energy and industrial projects.

His logistics career began with Kuehne+Nagel in Germany in 2006.

Working across customers, engineering contractors, equipment manufacturers and country teams, he advocates earlier logistics involvement to protect project budgets and schedules.

Sesi Agenda Acara

Kesediaan armada: Bolehkah kapasiti mengikuti perkembangan projek Asia?

Jika kapasiti armada meningkat dua kali ganda esok, adakah cabaran penghantaran industri akan hilang?

Saluran projek Asia sedang mewujudkan permintaan untuk penghantaran pelbagai guna dan pengangkutan berat khusus. Tetapi walaupun kapasiti kapal wujud, penyampaian projek boleh dikekang oleh keupayaan pelabuhan, infrastruktur pedalaman, ketersediaan peralatan, keperluan permit dan gangguan laluan.

Sesi ini akan mengkaji maksud kesediaan armada sebenar dalam pasaran hari ini dengan meneroka faktor-faktor di luar bekalan kapal yang semakin menentukan kejayaan projek. Perbincangan ini akan mempertimbangkan bagaimana syarikat penerbangan, pelabuhan, EPC dan penyedia logistik bertindak balas terhadap perubahan aliran kargo, kerumitan operasi yang semakin meningkat dan tekanan baharu terhadap penyampaian projek.
