Deugro’s newly launched vessel, Rotra Futura, has officially commenced operations by transporting offshore wind turbine blades from Denmark to the United States, the company said on Tuesday.
The vessel collected 108-metre-long blades at the Port of Aalborg under the supervision of Deugro Denmark’s wind specialists. Delivered in April, Rotra Futura is designed to accommodate larger and heavier offshore wind turbine components, supporting the growing demands of the sector.
Dennis Bjørslev Jensen, branch manager at Deugro Denmark, said: “We are delighted to officially welcome Rotra Futura to our fleet of RoRo vessels dedicated to servicing the offshore wind industry. The addition of this state-of-the-art vessel marks an important milestone in our continued commitment to innovation and operational excellence.”
He added: “After years of preparation and hard work, it brings great joy to finally see her in action. Witnessing the first loading operation executed so smoothly and precisely – just as we had planned for – is a proud moment for our entire team.”
Jensen also noted that the vessel “has performed to our full expectations, reaffirming her vital role in supporting the logistics needs of the offshore wind market.”
The deployment of Rotra Futura aligns with increasing global investments in offshore wind infrastructure, where efficient and specialised transportation of large turbine components is critical for timely project delivery.
