Delivering to Iceland in record time

For renewable energy projects, delivery reliability can be just as important as product quality. According to Helmut Pernhofer from the Logistics, project schedules are often extremely tight, making efficient transportation a key factor in customer success.

A recent geothermal project in Iceland presented exactly this type of challenge. The customer required seamless pipes within a very short timeframe to keep the project on schedule. Despite it being voestalpine Tubulars' first shipment to Iceland, the logistics team quickly identified an effective transportation route via the German Port of Bremerhaven.

Working closely with one of its trusted logistics partners, voestalpine Tubulars successfully coordinated the transport from Kindberg, Austria, to Reykjavík, Iceland. The entire delivery was completed within just two weeks, ensuring that the customer received the required materials exactly when they were needed.

The project highlights an important aspect of the voestalpine Tubulars value proposition: delivering not only premium products but also dependable service and logistics support. Through close cooperation with experienced logistics partners and a strong focus on customer requirements, voestalpine Tubulars helps renewable energy projects stay on track, regardless of destination.

Renewable projects are often highly time-sensitive, and delays in delivery can lead to additional costs. This makes reliable logistics solutions and strong partnerships essential. Even though it was our first shipment to Iceland, we found a highly reliable logistics solution via the port of Bremerhaven. Together with one of our trusted partners, we transported the pipes from Kindberg to Reykjavík within two weeks.
