Peak Group and CSL are pleased to announce the launch of their new partnership, Peak CSL Group, following CSL’s acquisition of 50% of Peak.

This new strategic alliance consolidates Peak and CSL’s short sea shipping operations in Northern Europe and leverages their collective expertise, resources, and capabilities within the coastal and offshore shipping sectors. With a shared commitment to excellence, the partnership aims to deliver comprehensive marine logistics solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of industrial clients across Europe.

Under the Peak CSL Group banner, the company is positioned to provide an expanded suite of services, particularly catering to the fast-growing offshore renewable energy sector. This encompasses rock and ballast logistics support for offshore wind farms, turnkey material transfer solutions and a fleet of project carriers that includes low-to-zero emission vessels, all facilitated by in-house engineering capabilities.

A cornerstone of the Peak CSL Group philosophy is a proactive stance in driving forward decarbonisation in the shipping industry. Through innovation and investment in energy-efficient vessels, the partnership aims to spearhead the transition towards zero-emission shipping and help customers meet their decarbonization targets.

“Through the Peak CSL Group, we create a strong alliance, grounded in our strategy for the next coming years. Teaming up with a robust partner enables us to broaden our service offerings towards the renewable, oil & gas and infrastructure markets, and set a solid groundwork for future expansion.
