Kuehne + Nagel Establishes Offices in Eastern Europe

In order to further strengthen its activities in the region as well as to participate in important development projects of the oil and gas industry, Kuehne + Nagel has established two offices in Northwest and Far East Russia.

The office in Murmansk, at the Kola Gulf of the Barents Sea, will be important for the coming launch of the Shtokman gas condensate field exploration project as well as serve the oil and gas-related industries in general.

The location is well connected to all Russian regions and to Norway and Finland via St. Petersburg and Moscow. During the Shtokman project, international and Russian contractors will base their seismic surveys, drilling operations, oilfield support, engineering and construction there.

The representation in Nogliki is located on the Sakhalin island, where the company already has an operating office.

“The Shtokman project will help to develop the Murmansk region, with its ice-free port, into one of the leading Russian ports and a key location for major local and international suppliers of goods and services,” says Perry Neumann, MD of Kuehne + Nagel Russia. “Nogliki, too, is a crucial hub in the transport network for the oil and gas industry.

Our representation is an expansion of our presence on Sakhalin and will enable the company to further develop the range of products that we offer to our clients. With these two representations we are strengthening our position in the important oil and gas sector.
