Swire Projects deliver Iwazumi Wind Farm components to Japan

Swire Projects, the heavy lift and project cargo specialist arm of Swire Shipping completed a shipment of wind turbine components for the Iwaizumi Wind Farm in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. 

The cargo, consisting of 12 sets of wind towers and 12 sets of nacelles, hubs, and drive trains, was loaded onto Swire Projects’ H-Class vessel, the 28,500-dwt multipurpose vessel Pacific Humility in Tianjin and Taicang, China.

Optimizing storage capacity allowed for the loading and shipping of all cargo in a single trip. Careful planning and execution of the process were required for safety and efficiency. The wind towers were firmly secured and fastened on deck, while the remaining components were safely stored in the holds.

These essential wind energy components were safely transported to Miyako for the Iwaizumi wind farm. This wind farm will feature 12 units of V117-4.2 MW wind turbines, significantly enhancing the region’s renewable energy capacity and contributing to a more sustainable future.
