Kuehne+Nagel (K+N) has introduced a new forwarding service targeting the transport of goods related to cloud computing as demand from the industry continues to rise.
The new service will utilise the forwarder’s air logistics network and provide white glove road transport solutions, with staff trained to deliver sensitive and oversized servers to data centres.
The solution offers real-time visibility of essential shipment information, digital tools reduce risks and identify optimal shipping routes suited to operational needs and GPS capabilities to track and monitor shipment movements with data reports to verify temperature, light exposure, and chain of custody at all touchpoints.
K+N said the new service would “address the growing demands and geographic expansion of the cloud infrastructure industry”.
The company said that the strong growth of the sector has further accelerated with the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI).
K+N pointed to figures from tech research firm Gartner that forecast spending on public cloud services will grow by 20.4% in 2024 and by 22.1% in 2025 due to AI growth.
Yngve Ruud, member of the management board of K+N International responsible for Air Logistics, added: “Customers of cloud infrastructure demand reliable, secure, and scalable solutions that cater to the specific needs of their industry and enhance the resilience of their supply chains.
“The introduction of this dedicated solution underscores our commitment to supporting the global expansion of customers in this rapidly growing sector.”
