Radia and Blue Water Shipping enter strategic collaboration
Companies to jointly deliver market integrated, global logistics solutions for the transport of oversized and complex cargo, combining WindRunner™'s airlift capabilities with Blue Water Shipping's global multimodal project cargo expertise
Radia, the developer of WindRunner™, the world’s largest cargo aircraft, and Blue Water Shipping today announced a strategic joint marketing collaboration focused on supporting oversized and complex cargo transportation across key global industries.
Under the collaboration, Radia and Blue Water intend to work together as preferred partners to jointly market integrated logistics solutions that combine WindRunner’s unprecedented air cargo volume with Blue Water’s extensive multimodal logistics, customs, port and project cargo expertise.
The companies expect to focus initial collaboration efforts across several strategic sectors, including energy and project cargo, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, aerospace logistics and military and defence related transportation.
WindRunner to solve global logistical challenges
WindRunner is a new class of airlift and is being developed to solve a growing global logistics challenge: existing transportation networks often cannot efficiently move the world’s largest and most complex cargo. Designed to operate from semi-prepared and infrastructure-constrained environments, WindRunner will enable direct delivery of oversized cargo closer to final destinations while reducing disassembly requirements, transportation complexity and overall project timelines.
Blue Water brings decades of experience managing highly specialised logistics operations around the world, including transportation of oversized industrial equipment, wind energy components, aerospace assets, humanitarian cargo and defence-related shipments.
“Many of the industries we support are constrained not only by infrastructure, but by the inability to efficiently move oversized cargo where and when it is needed,” said Mark Lundstrom, Founder and CEO of Radia. “By combining WindRunner’s transformational airlift capabilities with Blue Water Shipping’s global logistics expertise, we believe we can help create more flexible and resilient transportation solutions for customers operating in some of the world’s most challenging environments.”
“Blue Water Shipping has extensive experience delivering complex logistics solutions across industries that depend on precision, reliability and flexibility,” said Rasmus Svane, Head of Global Product Development Wind, Blue Water Shipping. “Our collaboration with Radia represents an exciting opportunity to explore new logistics models for oversized cargo and help customers rethink what is possible when combining multimodal transportation solutions.”
As part of the collaboration, the companies expect to jointly participate together at selected industry events, conduct joint marketing and communications activities and explore coordinated business development opportunities across targeted global sectors.
