Maersk to transport extra heavy powertrains for Vestas

 Vestas, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, has awarded Maersk an important contract for transporting the extra heavy powertrains of its largest ever built wind turbine V236. "This heart-piece of the 15 MW turbine weighs 260 tonnes alone and will be installed in the nacelle in Vesta’s factory in Lindø, Denmark," says an official release from Maersk. Maersk will manage the transport with special equipment from the assembly site in Lommel, Belgium via Antwerp to the port of Lindø, the release added. "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 tonnes including the powertrain."
