Siemens Gamesa has sent the first 115 m offshore wind turbine blades from its expanded Le Havre manufacturing site in France to Denmark’s Thor offshore wind project.

The blades are the first B115 units produced at the upgraded French facility. A total of 63 blades, each measuring 115 m, will be manufactured in Le Havre for the Danish project.

Thor will be equipped with 72 SG 14-236 DD offshore wind turbines. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of more than 1,000 MW, making it Denmark’s largest offshore wind project once in operation.

The shipment also highlights the growing logistics demands linked to offshore wind components. Blades longer than a football field require dedicated handling procedures, port planning, and specialised heavy transport equipment across the supply chain.
