COSCO SHIPPING has launched a major transport operation to support Georgia’s largest single-capacity wind power initiative, the Ruisi 206MW wind power project. The specialized carrier, M.V. YUAN FU, recently sailed from Lvsi Port in China’s Jiangsu Province carrying the first batch of five sets of wind power equipment, with an estimated arrival at the destination port in one month.
Project Scope and Logistics Scale
Located in Gori, central Georgia, the Ruisi 206MW project is set to significantly impact the nation’s energy sector. Once operational, it will provide a stable supply of clean electricity capable of meeting approximately one-tenth of Georgia’s household electricity needs. It is also expected to significantly improve power supply shortages for residents around Gori during winter.
COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers is providing customized transportation solutions for all 33 sets of wind power equipment required for the project. The complex logistics involve transporting the equipment in five batches, with each voyage covering over 8,600 nautical miles, roughly one-third of the Earth’s circumference. This operation sets a new record for the single-vessel transportation volume of wind power equipment around the Black Sea area.
Specialized Fleet and Environmental Impact
To execute the project, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers deployed multipurpose heavy lift vessels featuring double deck and flat deck surfaces, which are ideally suited for transporting large wind power components. Meticulous planning and scientific scheduling ensure the safe shipment and punctual arrival of each batch.
The project utilizes GW171 wind turbines, which have a massive rotor diameter of 171 meters, equivalent to the combined wingspan length of two Airbus A380 aircraft. Upon completion, the Ruisi project is estimated to reduce Georgia’s annual CO2 emissions by 400,000 tons, which is equivalent to planting 2.2 million trees.
