Kuehne+Nagel Russia has successfully completed a challenging project involving the transport of 159 wind turbine blades. The blades were transported on the Volga and Don rivers from Ulyanovsk to Ust-Donetsk and Rostov-on-Don.
Vestas, a Danish company and leading global manufacturer, seller, installer and service provider of wind power systems, produced the blades at the Ulyanovsk manufacturing facilities, together with its Russian partners (Rusnano). The blades were transported in six voyages of river pontoon barges between April and August 2020. Kuehne+Nagel ensured secure and on-time delivery of the oversized and sensitive technical equipment, despite various restrictions and impediments caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
