The Bravewind, a specially designed cargo vessel for Vestas, has docked at the Dutch port of Eemshaven to unload a new batch of wind turbine components. Known for its unique bow design, the vessel is built to transport oversized and heavy cargo for the wind turbine manufacturer.
Measuring 148.5 meters in length and 28 meters in width, the Bravewind features a 128-by-28-meter open deck that can accommodate large and heavy loads. The ship has a draft of 5.10 meters, allowing it to carry large-scale components.
Currently moored at the Beatrixhaven heavy-lift quay, the Bravewind is being unloaded using two large harbour cranes. Earlier in the week, several tower sections were brought ashore, and on Saturday afternoon, the ship was rotated to discharge the remaining sections.
Once unloaded, the components will be transported to the Buss Terminal for further handling.
