Sea-Cargo has secured a major transport contract for the delivery of 51 wind turbines to Norway, representing 204 megawatts of clean energy. The components will be gathered together at Sea Cargo’s new terminal in Husøy, close to Haugesund on the west coast of Norway. In line with Sea Cargos “asset-based” policy, a major investment of NOK 120 million has been made
in infrastructure.

Coincidentally, this investment perfectly harmonises with the needs of this project in addition to the organic business growth in the area. Main components will travel by Sea-Cargo’s well-established liner route from the company’s terminal in Esbjerg. The towers will be shipped from China on deep-sea vessels that will be discharged at Sea Cargo Husøy, while the blades will be collected from Swinoujscie in Poland for unloading directly in Kvinesdal in southern Norway. All components gathered together in Sea-Cargo Husøy will then join the blades for onward delivery to Kvinesdal at a rate of about 3 sets per week.

New office in Swinoujscie
In line with Sea-Cargo’s strategic ambition of expansion and total service integration, Sea-Cargo opened an office in Swinoujscie on 1st March 2019. As from 1st April, Sea-Cargo will run a weekly industrial service using the SC ASTREA
(a ship that is well known in the wind turbine industry) connecting the ports of Swinoujscie, Esbjerg, Husøy and Kvinesdal

Total transport chain
“We are delighted to have secured this new contract, as it delivers a perfect fit with our long-term strategic plan. We have been attracted to the Polish market for some time now and see this business as a very interesting and important springboard into something new for the future.

It further demonstrates the value of the Sea-Cargo total transport chain concept, with the involvement of Sea Cargo industrial shipping system, liner services from Denmark and Sea-Cargo terminals and land-based services. We have high hopes for this new route,” says Deputy Managing Director Barry Jenks.
