AAL Shipping has completed the transport of wind turbine blades and towers for the King Rocks Wind Farm in Western Australia. In a company statement, it reports that a total of 125,175 revenue tons (RT) were transported. This was achieved through a freight strategy that allowed the number of required departures to be reduced from originally three or four to just two. The transports were carried out with the 32,000 DWT Super B-class vessel „AAL Antwerpen“ and the 31,000 DWT A-class vessel „AAL Shanghai.“
Efficiency through freight consolidation
By maximizing cargo intake and utilizing the ships, AAL claims to have achieved benefits in terms of cost, time, and environmental impact. The consolidated freight strategy enabled both logistical efficiency and adherence to the project schedule. This is said to highlight the performance of AAL’s multipurpose fleet and demonstrate the company’s engineering expertise in the field of renewable energy.
The final delivery of the „AAL Antwerpen“ included 91,739 revenue tons, comprising 51 wind turbine blades measuring up to 80 m long, each weighing over 36 t. The blades were stowed in an arrangement that was up to six units wide and five tiers high. This single delivery accounted for more than 70% of the total cargo volume of the project.
