Featured Case

5 vessels with 17,500 Metric Tons was discharged straight into awaiting hopper barges in New Orleans. 33 barges would make their way up the Mississippi to our storage yard in Fulton, IL.

Our dock is on its own inlet, protected from the strong currents of the river allowing for tranquil waters and safe operations.

327 components were offloaded into our yard per our engineered lift plan, including nacelles, hubs, fibers, and tower sections.   With 24/7 security at our secluded distribution site, the components would be safe and secure.

Finally, each component would be loaded as needed to outbound trucks for short final mile delivery.
