WHERE COLOSSAL, LOW-SPEED BLADES MEET EFFICIENT, HIGHVELOCITY CARGO HANDLING

Twenty years ago, a 16-meter wind turbine blade was considered a long blade. The Port of Vancouver USA recently handled 78-meter-long blades—the longest ever imported into North America—nearly 5x longer than blades from two decades ago. Wind turbine size has increased in parallel with demand for wind components throughout North America. Any shipper’s list of port selection criteria has to include the laydown capacity to safely and efficiently handle such oversized cargo.

With its combination of favorable West Coast location, available laydown space, exceptional equipment and infrastructure and experienced labor force, the Port of Vancouver USA has a track record of success for handling wind energy components into the US and Canada.

Location and capacity

Just over one hundred miles up the Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean, the Port of Vancouver USA enables shippers to bypass the congestion of other coastal ports. In addition, the port lies at the nexus of two interstate highways and a continent-spanning rail network, providing direct access from Asia to the US Midwest and Central Canada.

In contrast to most other West Coast ports, the Port of Vancouver USA also has vast amounts of acreage available for marshaling and short-term storage of large wind components. The port’s Terminal 5 facility features more than 80 acres of laydown space immediately adjacent to the deep-draft shipping channel.

Experience and flexibility

The Port of Vancouver USA has more than 20 years of experience handling the transit of wind components bound for Eastern Washington, Oregon and Canada. In-depth knowledge of handling procedures, fixture types and other manufacturer-specific requirements allows the port to rapidly, efficiently and safely accommodate the full array of component types, sizes and designs.

Velocity and certainty

The Port of Vancouver USA offers logistics professionals the hard-to-find balance of fast and efficient cargo handling along with the peace of mind that components will be handled safely. The operators of the port’s two heavy-lift Liebherr cranes are experts in engineered and tandem lifts, plus representatives from heavy-haul trucking companies are on-site to manage cargo movement.

Considering all the advantages the Port of Vancouver USA offers the wind energy industry, it comes as no surprise that the port handles more wind energy shipments than any other US West Coast port.

BarberWind Turbines, LLC

Wind Turbine Manufacturer

Agile Wind Power AG

Agile Wind Power AG, a Swiss-based wind turbine manufacturer, will introduce the A42-750, a turbine specifically designed for behind-the-meter, on-site generation of electricity. The quiet operation (85dB), compact footprint and low risk to birds and bats, make it possible to realize projects near where people live and work, while the power output from the 750kW generator provides sufficient power for most commercial and industrial sites at a low and fixed cost for 25 years On-site generation with wind provides supply security, independence, and price stability to the turbine owner. www.agilewindpower.com

The BWT800kW is a mid-sized wind turbine designed especially for remote or isolated grid applications where the customer is dependent on a diesel system. The built-in lifting system eliminates the need for a giant crane for installation and allows the turbine to be lowered in advance of severe weather or a hurricane. This turbine utilizes 1216 airfoil blades that are 5ft long each. Nineteen blades are strung along each of 64 steel cable spokes. The small blades make it possible to ship the entire turbine in standard shipping containers. When in the upright position the turbine is 330ft tall and will power a farm, factory, or neighborhood of about 300 homes. www.barberwind.com

Goldwind Americas Goldwind’s GW165/5.2 - 5.6MW Permanent Magnet Direct Drive wind turbine featuring Goldwind’s EFARM LiDAR Assisted turbine control includes front-mounted LiDAR wind measurement technology which captures the dynamic wind flow of the turbine in a real-time control system for use in advanced control algorithms that optimize the turbine performance, load, and other characteristics. This significantly reduces the unit’s load, while improving its generation capacity. www.goldwindamericas.com
