The Motor Vessel Combi Dock I? of Gamesa Renewable has arrived recently at Krishnapatnam Port with huge size wind mill project cargo. Krishnapatnam Port has a dedicated berth to handle Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) and can bear the capacity of 12 MT per sq m, the highest for any berth in any port in India.

Gamesa is a global technological leader in the wind industry and has 22 years experience in the industry with more than 35,800 MW installed. It has a footprint in 55 countries. Its services include wind turbines operation and maintenance services that manage for more than 22 GW.

Commenting on this occasion, Anil Yendluri, CEO and Director, Krishnapatnam Port, said, ?We are pleased to welcome Gamesa and look forward to a rewarding professional relationship. This will substantially reduce transit time in these areas and will also minimise the cost, which will be of a huge benefit to our customers.?

Krishnapatnam port has made its entire infrastructure ready to handle the windmill consignments. The windmill exports through Krishnapatnam Port will help take advantage of the logistics and supply chain benefits eventually reducing the overall cost of every MW windmill installation. This would help in terms of connectivity, huge storage space and massive infrastructure available at the port.
