SWT 7.0 makes a trip to Denmark

Earlier this year, Siemens Wind Power introduced its largest wind turbine yet built. The new SWT 7.0 is based on existing technology from another turbine. Therefore, the turbine can skip many tests, however, it cannot escape a trip to the test centre in Østerild, Denmark.

In this connection, the loading, shipping and discharging of the turbine were assigned to Blue Water - nearly 420 tons of cargo with the largest unit weighing 155 tons. The units were discharged by means of the combined lifting capacity of two large mobile cranes.

The discharge was characterized by a good cooperation between the ship's crew, crane operators, riggers and the haulier. This is our second transport to/from Hanstholm for Siemens Wind Power within the recent year. Last year, we shipped the predecessor, SWT 6.0, to Esbjerg.
