Last weekend, a shipment was completed of 18 wind blades, each measuring 72.4 meters and produced by Aeris in the Pecém industrial complex, via Pecém port. The shipment took a few days of intense operation in the storage yard and in the Multiple Utility Terminal (TMUT) at the port before being sent to the United States.
Each of these giants, produced to order for the German company Norde, weighs 22.9 tonnes. Currently, there is an area at the port in Ceará that is exclusively for the storage of wind blades produced at the Pecém Complex.
“The new Nordex blades that will be handled during this new project are even bigger than the ones we have been operating usually, as the market has demanded increasingly larger equipment, which directly interferes with the logistics of receiving and handling this equipment, that is very sensitive,” says Duna Uribe, Executive Commercial Director of the Pecém complex.
Last year alone, approximately two thousand blades were handled at Pecém. The number is three times higher than the movement registered in 2018, when 683 blades were shipped to wind energy parks around the world. These parts are the blades that give movement to the wind turbines that transform wind into electrical energy.
