CASE STUDY

WIND POWER GENERATION EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTATION

Special Cargo Transportation

Project Overview

We transported blades for wind turbines at Eurus Nishime Wind Farm in the city of Yurihonjo in Akita Prefecture, Japan. This was a request from Eurus Technical Service Corp., a member of the Eurus Energy Group which is conducting clean power generation business in Japan and abroad.

Key Points of this Project

  • We transported blades to a wind energy plant in Akita Prefecture.
  • We made arrangements for the vessel immediately after the consultation with the client for a quote in October 2019. We shipped the blades domestically approximately 2 months later.
  • We made various preparations while waiting to obtain an access permit, and we finished transporting the goods in early 2020.

Technologies and Services Utilized in this Case Study

Project Content

We provided fast and secure multimodal transportation services encompassing marine and land leveraging our logistic network and transportation know-how. Because the client was in a hurry, we conducted a site survey immediately after a quotation request in October 2019 and secured a ship to perform domestic shipping from the Port of Ishikari to the Port of Akita before the end of December 2019. While waiting for a passage permit, we proceeded with preparation work including removal of obstacles en route. The cargo was then transported from the Port of Akita to a site specified by the client using trailers, successfully completing the delivery.
