About 2,050 metric tons of plate steel for wind turbine towers from Svendborg, Denmark was discharged from the Wagenborg's Moezelborg on July 26th and 27th. They will be shipping by truck to West Fargo, North Dakota.
Routing of the cargo through Duluth was the result of a joint marketing effort by the Port Authority and Lake Superior Warehousing to handle this type of equipment.
“Wind turbines are a growing trend as people seek clean forms of alternative energy,” said Port Authority Marketing Director Ron Johnson.
“We’re hoping to establish Duluth as a regular route for this type of cargo as more and more wind farms are constructed in the region,” he said.
The 440-foot multi-purpose dry cargo carrier Moezelborg, built in 1999 in the Netherlands, is operated by Wagenborg Shipping, Delfzijl, Netherlands.
