Renewable Energy Logistics:
Powering the Transition
How De Well enables leading renewable energy brands to deliver large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) and battery components efficiently, safely, and compliantly across global trade lanes.
The Opportunity
As renewable energy investment surges across N. America, manufacturers in Greater China and S.E. Asia face a critical challenge:
How to move large, high-value, and regulated energy systems across oceans — reliably, cost-effectively, and with full visibility.
A leading global energy storage and renewables manufacturer sought to scale its deliveries of containerized ESS to project sites across the U.S. They required a secure and compliant logistics framework to manage complex shipments under tight timelines and evolving U.S. import controls.
- Managing high-volume ocean shipments for oversized ESS units
- Ensuring U.S. customs compliance for lithium battery components
- Coordinating multi-ports loading from multiple Asian suppliers
- Aligning drayage, yard storage, and inland transport to U.S. project timelines
- Maintaining real-time visibility from factory to final site delivery
