WEG, Developer Of The Project, Saw Arrive At The Port Of Imbituba This Weekend Two Wind Blades Through The Ship Bartolomeu Dias, From Ceará
The Port Of Imbituba had another major operation for the unloading of two wind blades this weekend. The wind blades measure 72 meters, weighing no less than 22.5 tons each. The two pieces were manufactured in the state of Ceará, making the journey from the northeast to the port aboard the ship Bartolomeu Dias, belonging to the cabotage fleet of the shipowner Aliança. The entire cargo belongs to the giant company WEG from Santa Catarina.
Large Project Developed By WEG
It is now being prepared to complete the journey via land. The wind blades will be installed in the city of Capivari de Baixo, in southern Santa Catarina. The wind blades are part of a project by Aneel, which will be used in a research project in partnership with Celesc (Engie Brasil and the Electric Energy Company of Santa Catarina), being developed by WEG.
Port Of Imbituba Celebrates The Operation With The Wind Blades
The operation at the port, involving the ships and the wind blades, was carried out by Santos Brasil, the company that is the tenant of the Container and General Cargo Terminals of the Port Of Imbituba. Fábio Riera, CEO of SCPAR, spoke briefly about the operation: ”These operations have important significance for the port, by demonstrating the technical ability to receive and load large volumes, with agility and safety, by the flexibility in moving different cargoes and as a logistical mediator for large investments for regional development”.

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

While old bridges still span railways around the world, in the United States a 2,300-ton structure was assembled off-site and transported by barge along the Hudson River to replace a century-old bridge.

Egypt builds a $5.5 billion monorail over Cairo with beams weighing 80 to 100 tons lifted by mobile cranes, while streets need to be blocked to erect nearly 100 km of suspended train.
The cargo from WEG shows once again how much investment in renewable energy is growing. With the shift in environmental policies of companies worldwide, investment in this area seems to be increasingly important. The project developed by WEG is huge, costing a fortune. Just the fact of bringing the wind blades from the northeast by ship already incurs a high cost, but it will be rewarded with the results.
