DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The arrival of 39 wind turbine blades on the “Asian Spirit” ship on Thursday completed a project that has brought more than 100 thousand freight tons of wind energy cargo to the Duluth port this year.
This summer also marked the 20th anniversary of moving wind energy components through the port and then on to regional wind farms by road or rail.
Since 2005, more than 2.6 million freight tons of wind energy cargo has been handled by Lake Superior Warehousing and the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, a partnership known as Duluth Cargo Connect.
The largest wind turbine blades measure 260 feet long.
The latest shipment of wind energy cargo is destined for North Dakota.
