OIA empowers both renewable and traditional energy sectors with efficient, flexible solutions and world-class project management expertise.
The energy sector is a critical component of OIA’s service portfolio. The energy sector faces global challenges, both for traditional and renewable businesses. We searched extensively for the right partner in Europe and were delighted with the outcome of combining forces with Belville Rodair in 2013. This acquisition expanded our global network by 22 company-owned offices, serving 14 additional countries, which positioned OIA to achieve critical mass in project logistics, renewable energy, and oil and gas.
When BRI joined OIA Global our energy specialist team expanded with a truly international reach – after all, we’re based all over the world. The members of our Energy team specialize in developing logistics solutions for both the Renewable and traditional Non-Renewable Energy sectors.

Logistics challenge enables client to build the world's heaviest and tallest wind and power infrastructure
Customer Challenge:Our client, a global manufacturer of specialized wind energy installations, took part in a competition to supply some of the highest energy-generating wind power turbines in the world. This contest involved establishing the world’s largest land based windmill at the Hunterston test site in West Scotland, one of the windiest places in Europe. However, the port at Hunterston did not have port facilities to receive windmill parts of this size, so a custom quay had to be built. The customer engaged OIA to help navigate the multiple challenges related to the planning and execution of what essentially was a world first: the transportation of the largest windmill blade parts ever made.
Our Solution:
- Consolidation
- Transportation management
- Project cargo
- Specialized logistics equipment
Customer Benefit:
The very long time line of this project required our customer to select a logistics partner that could participate in the project from the first minute of planning until completion several years later. This required a great deal of dedication as well as attention to detail and knowledge of the customer’s internal organization. OIA’s Energy Team provided the consistency and continuity needed for a project this size and duration. Our true partnership with the customer enabled the company to concentrate on the other technical challenges of this enormous endeavor.
