A shipment of eight wind turbines has been delivered from Taicang, China, to the port of Newcastle in Australia as part of the Goldwind White Rock Wind project.
The turbines were transported aboard the heavy-lift vessel Erna Oldendorff and form the first of eight shipments expected between now and May 2017.
“The Port of Newcastle will handle 70 wind turbines for Goldwind’s White Rock Project and is well placed to handle more large cargo imports to support wind farm, property, rail and road developments happening around the state,” said Geoff Crowe, CEO of Port of Newcastle.
The wind turbine blades each measure 59.5 meters long and are the largest ever transported to Australia. The port of Newcastle expects the Goldwind shipments to be among a growing trend of breakbulk shipments.
“The port’s shipping channel is currently only 50 percent utilized and we have plenty of large parcels of portside land for cargo storage and preassembly, which reduces the number of times cargo is handled, generating cost savings for cargo owners,” Crowe said.
