The operation took place in June 2024.

The company said this wind farm transport job represented a significant step forward in Spain’s energy transition, contributing to the production of clean energy and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Green cargo

In total, 50 wind components were transported, including tubes, nacelle, hubs, drives and blades.

The components were loaded at different locations, such as Aranda del Duero and Santander, increasing the complexity of the planning and logistical coordination.

The operation began on 14 June and was completed on 8 July.

Equipment such as power adapters were crucial for transporting the nacelles as well as the two tubes.

Hot weather

During the operation, one of the main difficulties faced was the adverse weather conditions. As high temperatures increase the risk of fire, additional precautions are required, such as condition checks of the cargo.

More than 20 Laso employees were involved in this operation, including sales teams, project managers, drivers and pilots.

“We are extremely pleased with the success of this operation,” said the Laso project manager. “It was an exemplary job of coordination between the teams and overcoming logistical challenges, achieved thanks to everyone’s dedication. This project reinforces Laso’s ability to overcome obstacles and its technical and operational capacity in complex projects.”
