Canada’s Port of Argentia has secured a contract to receive and store wind turbine blades set to be shipped and installed at Eastern US offshore wind farms.
The arrangement with Scan Global Logistics, a global transportation and logistics company headquartered in Denmark, will see 220 wind turbine blades arrive via heavy transport vessels at Argentia, beginning this fall and continuing into 2025.
Vessels will then collect and deliver the blades for installation at wind farms off the Eastern Seaboard of the US. The port has entered into a lease and services agreement for marshalling and security services utilizing a 12-hectare bonded yard at Argentia. Financial terms have not been disclosed.
“Capitalising on our place as North America’s first monopile marshalling port, we’re now positioned to further expand our capabilities by securing a contract to store and marshall 220 offshore wind turbine blades. The addition of wind turbine blades demonstrates our unique storage capacity and adds to our portfolio of offshore wind projects. This new contract further cements the Port’s critical role as a US offshore wind marshalling port,” stated Port of Argentia CEO Scott Penney. |
