Windpark Westereems Eemshaven
In Eemshaven, at the north coast of Holland, a huge onshore wind
park, called Windpark Westereems, is arising. The park consists of
52 windmills of 3 MW each with a total height of 140 meters.
Wagenborg takes care of the logistics of the windmills on behalf of
the German main contractor of the project. The concrete parts for
the towers are transported by inland vessel from Emden port to
Wagenborg Eemshaven terminal, where 10.000 m2 of storage space is
available for the project. At Wagenborg Terminal, offloading of the
vessels is done by Wagenborg’s 400 tons crawler crane. In the
meanwhile, trucks with blades and turbine parts are arriving at the
terminal, where assembly crews are waiting to further assemble
these items. When ready, Wagenborg’s heavy transport trailers carry
the tower parts, turbines and blades Just-In-Time from the
storage/assembly area to the construction site, directly under
crane hook.
