Copenhagen – Besides integrated logistics for conventional, containerized products, Maersk offers also out-of-gauge and special cargo shipments as part of its Maersk Project Logistics (MPL) business. Another example for these heavy lift capabilities of Maersk is a new project from the leading Danish renewable energy company Vestas. As a global leader in renewable energy solutions, Vestas has awarded Maersk with an important contract for transporting the extra heavy powertrains of its largest ever built wind turbine V236. This heart-piece of the 15MW turbine weighs 260 tons alone and will be installed in the nacelle in Vesta’s factory in Lindø, Denmark. Maersk will manage the transport with special equipment from the assembly site in Lommel, Belgium via Antwerp to the port of Lindø. The powertrain is one of a number of large components of the nacelle. The final V236 nacelle has a total weight of more than 630 tons including the powertrain. (....)
