SAL Heavy Lift successfully loaded longest wind turbine blade of 72.4 metres from the Indian port at Tuticorin to Germany exported by NORDEX India Pvt.Ltd.
The SAL type 161b high-speed heavy cargo vessel MV Maria was booked to load the wind turbine blade and she arrived on time at Tuticorin port on 26th May, 2020 and berthed on arrival. Loading was completed in two hours and after completion of all lashing / securing the vessel sailed on 27th May, 2020.
This is the longest blade to be loaded out from India and another milestone for SAL Heavy Lift who regularly transport wind turbine equipment around the world.
We thank the Tuticorin port authorities for their support to berth the vessel on arrival.
Also thank the vessel’s crew, our local agents SAI Maritime and the stevedoring team for their efficiency.
