Wind transport

Foundation structures for the Global Tech 1 Windfarm are being transported to the construction site from the BLG Logistic Group’s offshore terminal at Bremerhaven with the installation vessel, Innovation.

Following the transport and intermediate storage of the foundation structures, with final assembly at WeserWind, BLG was commissioned by the construction company Hochtief Solutions for the transport of the tower segments and nacelles. After loading the first tower segments for the AREVA wind turbines onto the transport barge Stralsund at the production site of Ambau GmbH in Bremen, BLG undertook the seafastening of the components and arranged their transport to the Fischereihafen at Bremerhaven.

Using its special SPMT (Self Propelled Modular Transporter) vehicles, BLG subsequently transported the nacelles and their associated components from their storage locations at AREVA Wind to the Labradorhafen and arranged their loading onto the pontoon. The pontoon was then towed to the ABC-Halbinsel offshore terminal. There, the components will be transferred onto the installation vessel Thor, which takes the components to the construction site and installs them at sea.
