The Port of Esbjerg, Denmark, has shipped the first jacket foundation for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind ( CVOW ) project. This 60-meter-high steel structure , weighing approximately 2,445.6 tons, was carefully transported from the port to the ship that will take it to the United States.
First jacket foundation to arrive in the US
The manufacturing and transport process of this foundation, important for a large-scale marine station, such as the CVOW project , has required efficient collaboration between experts in maritime logistics and heavy transport.
With the help of special cranes and custom-built heavy-duty transport vehicles , the foundation was moved precisely along the paved roads of the port, demonstrating Port Esbjerg’s unique ability to handle operations of this magnitude.
This shipment is part of the largest offshore wind project in the American country, which will include a number of 176 wind turbines with generating capacities of up to 2.6 gigawatts of energy, enough to supply 660,000 homes.
The Port of Esbjerg is a logistics hub for the wind industry. It has the tools to manage large-scale projects, and its advanced infrastructure such as heavy-lift facilities position it as a benchmark in the supply chain for sustainable projects.
Global collaboration between companies such as Dominion Energy , CS Wind Offshore and Semco Maritime has been to carry out this type of wind projects that seek to accelerate the growth of offshore wind energy in the Atlantic.
