Head of Growth – Project Sector Fracht Group
Tim Killen has spent his 30 year career working in the value driven technical project logistics and supply chain industry. Graduating with an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering in the UK, during which he spent 12 month studying and working in the Middle East delivering numerous CAPEX energy project across the UAE.
Following university Killen continued his career as a graduate engineer for ALSTOM Power and then Commercial Director for ALE Heavylift. Developing his experience and career working on major heavylift & modular projects for the power, oil and gas and renewables sector across in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia.
Since 2012 he developed his skills with roles in project freight forwarding and held positions of CSO for the global project freight forwarder Deugro and also Global Head of Growth, with Maersk Project Logistics.

2025 Event Agenda Sessions
Energy Transition: A Redefined Opportunity
The global shift to renewable energy has spurred mega projects, especially in the Middle East, a region long dominated by oil and gas. However, transitioning away from hydrocarbons remains complex, with ‘green’ energy under growing scrutiny and Gulf nations exploring nuclear power as part of their strategies. This panel will examine whether it is time to reframe the energy transition narrative and explore how stakeholders like IOCs, NOCs and LSPs are reshaping the energy landscape. Key topics include:
• Reframing green energy: Defining true sustainability and avoiding greenwashing.
• The energy transition myth: Integrating oil, gas, and nuclear into a low-carbon future.
• Future-ready investments: How oil and gas companies are futureproofing with renewable fuels, energy-efficient technologies, and low-carbon energy projects.
• Nuclear power: Gulf states’ nuclear ambitions and the role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
• The role of LSPs: How can LSPs collaborate with the stakeholders (IOCs / NOCs) in projects such as nuclear, carbon capture, batteries, energy storage, renewable fuel initiatives etc.
• Technology drive: Advanced technologies supporting greener projects, including semiconductor plants and energy-efficient data centers.
