Copenhagen– Maersk Project Logistics offers not only integrated logistics for containerized and conventional products, but also special cargo shipments. Maersk’s heavy lift capabilities are also demonstrated by a new project undertaken by the leading Danish renewables energy company Vestas.
Vestas, a global leader of renewable energy solutions has awarded Maersk an important contract to transport the extra-heavy powertrains for its largest wind turbine ever built V236. The heart of the 15MW wind turbine weighs 260 tonnes and will be installed into the nacelle at Vesta’s factory Lindo, Denmark. Maersk will handle the transport of the special equipment from the assembly in Lommel, Belgium to the port in Lindo. The powertrain is just one of many large components that make up the nacelle. The final V236 has a total mass of more than 630 tonnes, including the powertrain.
Maersk will later move the V236 engines to a new Vestas plant in Poland. Maersk has built a complete supply chain solution to handle all cargo flows into both production sites, in Denmark and Poland. Maersk also takes care of Vesta’s containerized cargo, as well as air freight and customs services. Maersk offers a fully integrated global logistics solution that includes warehousing, intermodal, and warehousing.
Maersk has been a reliable and efficient partner for us since the beginning of our cooperation. They can meet all of our global logistics needs with just one call. A supply chain solution that is being designed with a strategic partner will add visibility and resilience to our logistic operations. It will also make it easier for us to execute our complex logistics business. We will continue to expand and develop this exciting journey.
Since more than two year, we have worked closely with Vestas to develop exciting heavy lift projects, as well as containerized cargo. We are honoured to be the preferred and trusted partner of Vestas. Transporting the equipment requires complex logistical capabilities and experience. This makes us prouder to be chosen by the world’s leading renewable energy company.
Maersk offers project logistics services in industries such as renewable energies, power generation, automotive and industrial manufacturing. We also provide government-contracted logistics, as well as assistance and relief. The MPL offering includes a full spectrum of planning and orchestration, as well as end-to-end specialised transport services, to manage the flow project-related cargo in accordance with the unique sequence, schedule, and conditions of each individual project.
