Port of Pecem triples amount of wind blades moved in 2019

In 2019 the Port of Pecem moved two thousand wind mill blades throughout the year. The number is more than three times higher than in 2018, when 683 blades were shipped to windmill farms located in other states in Brazil, as well as in the United States and Europe.

According to José Alcântara Neto, coordinator of operations, “the Port of Pecém is structured, in partnership with operational service providers, to hire specialized labor and the use of equipment. Everything is done to get things right, from unloading to storage in the yard to boarding on ships. ”

“This increase in shipping blades is a consequence of having Wobben Wind Power and Aeris Energy set up in the industrial area of ​​the Pecém Complex. Wobben manufactures its parts for Aeris and produces for Vestas and GE, two major global players in the renewable energy sector, ”says Alexandre Holanda, Logistics Development Assistant at Pecém Industrial and Port Complex.

Currently, an area in the port is used exclusively for storage of the wind blades produced in the Industrial Complex. The blades are between 45 and 62 meters long and are as many as 90 blades can be loaded on each vessel.

Wind blades handled in 2019 by the mentioned companies are as follows:

282 – Wobben

691 – GE

1027 – Vestas
