Recently, three wind turbine blades, each with a length of 107 meters, were loaded onto the deck and subsequently transported to Bozhong Wind Farm for installation, marking the successful completion of the transportation task undertaken by COSCO SHIPPING Logistics for the first batch of wind turbine blades to be installed in the Shandong Energy Bozhong Offshore Wind Farm A Project, effectively guaranteeing the progress of the project.

The wind power blades are 107 meters long, 6.73 meters wide and 5.2 meters high, weighing 46 tons, with the impeller diameter reaching 220 meters, making them the longest blades produced in Shandong Province so far.

Before shipment, the project team made comprehensive arrangements of road improvement, terminal storage, road transportation, and terminal cargo handling operations in line with the equipment conditions and developed a detailed transportation and cargo lifting program according to the actual situation.

Throughout the operation process, the project team actively communicated and coordinated with relevant parties to ensure smooth land transportation by offering necessary support along the way from the manufacturer to the port area.  At the same time, the team also cooperated with the port to optimize the loading and unloading process so as to ensure the effective connection of various links from blade collection and site arrangement to hoisting operation. Benefiting from the advance preparation, the first batch of equipment arrived safely at the scheduled location within the preset time.

Shandong Energy Bozhong Offshore Wind Farm A Project is the first offshore wind power grid project in Shandong Province to realize the crossover of submarine cable and oil and gas pipelines. The project will consist of 60 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 8.35 MW each, which can provide 1.698 billion kWh of clean power to the grid, save 519,800 tons of standard coal, and reduce 1.2577 million tons of carbon dioxide per year after it is put into operation, helping facilitate the ecological development of the Yellow River Basin.
