SCA's ships transporting wind turbines

Dec 29 2010  Since the summer, SCA Transforest has been transporting wind turbines to northern Sweden on its system ships. The reason is that a number of large-scale wind power plants will be built there during the coming years.

Using SCA’s system ships for wind turbines entails many advantages. “It is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way that benefits both us and the customer," says Nils-Johan Haraldsson, vice president, marketing at SCA Transforest, to SCA customer magazine Shape."It reduces road transportation, and we can also fill our vessels. That means we use capacity better. Furthermore, our ships sail according to a fixed timetable, which means that wind turbine manufacturers can plan exactly when the turbines should be made and ready for delivery,” Haraldsson says.On the south-bound route, the SCA ships are, as usual, transporting paper and other forest industry products from northern Sweden to continental Europe.
