IT’S ALL ABOUT TOFFSHORE DEVELOPMENT
The transport of the 40 nacelles, hubs and (S3) tower sections of the 5 Megawatt (MW) wind energy converters M5000-116 started in September 2012.
The components which weigh several tons (a nacelle has a weight of 233 tons) were contractually shipped to the base harbour for the Trianel wind farm Borkum.
The wind turbines will be stored in Eemshaven until planned installation in spring and the components will be constantly monitored by AREVA Wind.
SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION The transport was successfully executed, thanks to high safety standards for
all participants and the optimised
co-operation with all participating companies.
The 56 metre long rotor blades for the wind energy converters will be transported
for final assembly from Stade to Eemshaven. the trianel wind farm Borkum is an important milestone for the offshore development in the North Sea and important for the offshore wind industry.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS “AREVA did an excellent job technically as well as logistically” enthused Klaus Horstick, CEo of trianel Windpark borkum GmbH & Co KG.
Jean Huby, CEo of AREVA Wind stated: “The safe and successful transport of the 120 big components of the M5000 wind energy converter was possible thanks to the good co-operation with Trianel. The successful execution is clear evidence for the necessity of strategic partnerships and for the safety spirit within the entire offshore industry.”
