LESS WASTED LOAD OUT TIME AND LESS DOCK TIME

The BMS Group is the right partner if you are looking for less wasted load out time and less dock time – just ask MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S.

MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S – a company jointly owned by Danish Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. – has the mission of co-developing offshore wind as an economically viable and sustainable energy resource to benefit future generations. This happens, among other things, from the company’s facilities in Nakskov in southern Denmark.

Among the MHI Vestas Offshore Wind partners in Denmark is BMS Lolland Falster and one of the most recent and newest assignments for this part of the BMS Group has been to assist in the shipment of wind turbine blades from the port of Nakskov.

The task was to find a solution where it was possible to best place 12 80-metres blades on the dock in Nakskov so that they could be loaded onto a ship – without using the gantry crane from the Nakskov factory in con- nection with the loadout.

In all simplicity, it was about finding a method that could ensure less wasted time at loadout and less dock time for the ship. The task was solved by BMS Lolland Falster, who, in close collaboration with the factory in Nakskov and MHI Vestas Offshore Wind’s transport department at the headquarter in Aarhus, Denmark, made plans for the operation. BMS Lolland Falster used a Liebherr LR 1300 crawler crane, which was applied for other tasks for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, now that it was in the area.
