TURBINE FACTORY One of the newest, and biggest, production site for offshore towers in Europe is currently being built on the island of Ostrów, off the Polish harbour city of Gdańsk. Here the company Baltic Towers is building a huge hall measuring 135 metres wide, 430 metres long, and almost 36 metres high. The construction phase began in June 2024 and Baltic Towers plans to


start producing the offshore towers from the second quarter of 2025. The result will be tower

Towers has ordered 48 SPMT axle lines from Cometto’s 48T series with four Power Pack Units. These self-propelled modules will be used to transport steel plates, tower sections, and even entire towers to the right place in the
