Deugro’s newly launched Rotra Futura vessel has officially commenced operations with the transportation of wind turbine blades from Denmark to the United States.
The project supply vessel collected the 108-metre-long blades at the Port of Aalborg, Denmark (pictured), under the supervision of Deugro Denmark’s wind experts.
The vessel, which was delivered in April this year, is specifically designed to handle larger and heavier offshore wind turbine components.
“We are delighted to officially welcome Rotra Futura to our fleet of RoRo vessels dedicated to servicing the offshore wind industry,” said Dennis Bjørslev Jensen, branch manager at Deugro Denmark. “The addition of this state-of-the-art vessel marks an important milestone in our continued commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
“After years of preparation and hard work, it brings great joy to finally see her in action. Witnessing the first loading operation executed so smoothly and precisely – just as we had planned for – is a proud moment for our entire team.
“Rotra Futura has performed to our full expectations, reaffirming her vital role in supporting the logistics needs of the offshore wind market.”
