The port of Antwerp has been handling goods for the production of renewable energy, such as wind turbines, for more than a decade now. In that period, the global wind energy market has nearly quadrupled. And as the market itself has grown, so has Port of Antwerp’s expertise.
Wind turbine components, such as motors, hubs, blades, tower sections and nacelles come in all sizes and weights, which is why project cargo of that type therefore requires specialised logistics.
Port of Antwerp will guide you through the process, step by step.
