Kita Transport Services: Wind power cargo headed for Iskanderun
Turkish based GPLN member, Kita Transport Services, has been involved in
air, sea, land transport, integrated logistics as well as project transport.
During the first half of 2010, Kita Transport Services moved a 35 MW wind
power plant consisting of 14 units of GE 2.5 MW wind turbines. The goods
were moved from Germany and other parts of Europe into Iskenderun, Turkey,
by land and sea.
The overall project volume was over 42,000 cbm and all of the cargo has been
delivered on time with no damages. The most difficult part of the project
was to tackle the extreme cold weather conditions in Europe, which is the
worst in the last 50 years, especially during the February and March. The
50 m long blades were to be moved a distance of over 500 km overland. Under
these climatic circumstances these moves were a serious challenge. The
goods were loaded on four ships at a -15 degree Celsius temperature and also
over 20 trucks were loaded for the cargo to be moved by land route to the
jobsite in Turkey. Kita Transport Services had moved the first wind farm to
Turkey in 1999 on a door-to-door basis and since then Kita has moved a
significant amount of wind turbine equipment to various wind farms in
Turkey.
