Transport and logistics firm DB Schenker will deliver 240 wind turbine blades for an Envision Energy project in India.
The turbine blades are being transported from Sheyang, China to Kandla Port in India for Envision Energy.
Each blade measures 76.8 m in length and weighs nearly 19.3 tons (17.5 tonnes). The entire project volume totals almost 274,000 cu m with a weight of 4,600 tons (4,173 tonnes). Transport between China and India began in May 2024 and is set to continue until December 2024.
Daniel Wieland, senior vice president global projects and industry solutions, said: “This large-scale logistics project of safely transporting wind turbine blades demonstrates DB Schenker’s unparalleled project management and technical capabilities. Our teams in China and India collaborate intensively and fulfill this assignment with the highest efficiency and reliability.”
DB Schenker was officially put up for sale by Deutsche Bahn in December 2023 and is currently receiving bids from interested parties.
