Last month, the UK’s Bristol port facilitated the transhipment of a 178-tonne electrical transformer as part of a National Grid Hinkley expansion project in Somerset.
The transformer arrived at the port from South Korea onboard a Wallenius Wilhelmsen ro-ro vessel.
The Bristol port team worked with heavy lift specialist Mammoet to load the transformer onto the Willcarry 501 barge for onward delivery to Somerset.
From hosting North America’s first wind turbine marshalling yard to preparing for the tow-out of a colossal concrete gravity structure (CGS), the port of Argentia is rapidly transforming into a nexus for renewable energy projects and heavy lift operations. As demand for green hydrogen and sustainable fuels grows, Argentia’s developments signal a bright future for project cargo in Newfoundland and beyond.
The US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) has allocated USD580 million towards port improvement projects.
