Wind turbine equipment Wallenius Wilhelmsen transports increasing volumes of wind turbine equipment around the globe. Because construction and maintenance costs are similar whether the turbine is large or small, utility companies are building the largest feasible turbines to gain competitive advantage. Our job is simply to deliver. Whether just-in-time delivery for a new wind farm site or ongoing transport of replacement parts, Wallenius Wilhelmsen is up to the challenge. Our cargo specialists pay great attention to details — to every aspect of loading, stowage and discharging of tower sections, individual nacelles and hubs or complete wind turbines. For example, we know that blades of all sizes are susceptible to windage. Therefore when placing blades on the weather deck, our crane operators exercise extreme control to ensure proper, incident-free loading.
Transport to wherever the wind blows Wallenius Wilhelmsen moves wind turbine equipment. Here are a few examples: Three 39-metre replacement windmill blades in a single shipment. Eighteen 22-metre windmill blades in a single shipment. Shipment of a 40,000-kg nacelle, a 25,000-kg hub and a 43,000-kg drive chain. Three tower sections of varying weights and sizes: Weight 44,500 kg 39,500 kg 31,500 kg Size 15.2 m x 4.11 m x 3.78 m 26.55 m x 3.87 m x 2.9 m 15.25 m x 3.78 m x 3.78 m Below deck stowage Nacelles and hubs. These are usually packed in fibreglass moulds for protection. Wallenius Wilhelmsen usually loads and transports an 80-ton nacelle and a 10ton hub together on a 40-foot rolltrailer. Chains secure the cargo onto the rolltrailer, which in turn is lashed with chains onto the deck of the vessel. Loose blades with deck supports. Loading windmill blades requires open space for safe and efficient operations, which is why loose blades that are wrapped in plastic are often the first cargo to go on board at the port of loading. Blades with deck supports are loaded onto 25-m shuttle trailers. Once on board, Wallenius Wilhelmsen uses specially manufactured bottom lifting devices to stow the cargo. Blades are stowed and secured side by side, turned tip to base, to ensure the most efficient utilisation of space. Blades in stackable frames. Shippers also deliver pairs of blades in stackable frames with each end of the blade secured within the frame. These frames can be efficiently stacked below deck. On deck stowage Static Cargo 19 Loose blades with deck supports. Blades that are longer than 25 m are usually lifted by crane onto and off the weather deck of the vessel where they rest on deck supports. Towers. Wind towers are generally divided into three sections in lengths of approximately 25 m each. Each section can weigh anything between 15 and 40 tons. Tower sections are usually handled on rolltrailers and secured for transport on the weather deck.
