Nordex Group has launched a 5-MW #turbine tailored to meet the requirements of the U.S. market, as the Hamburg-based turbine maker seeks to capitalize on the expected growth in the North American #renewables sector. The N169/5.X, a variant of the Delta4000 platform, is billed as one of the largest and most efficient turbines for the U.S. market. It boasts a rotor diameter of 169 meters and a power rating of up to 5.5 MW, and is particularly suited for #wind regions in the U.S. without intense turbulence and with low to medium wind speeds. “With this new US turbine, we are well positioned to benefit from the expected growth of the U.S. market,” said Manav Sharma, chief executive officer of the Nordex Group’s North America division. “We already have our N163 and N175 variants offering for land constrained and some grid constrained sites in multiple configurations. The N169/5.X will allow us to address additional customer needs in grid constrained sites.” The N169/5.X and the N163 variants will be manufactured for the U.S. market at Nordex’s facility in West Branch, Iowa. Production of the N169/5.X is scheduled to start in 2026. Nordex said its established supply chains would ensure local content requirements are met to benefit from the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a landmark law aimed in part at boosting investment in domestic #energy production. Key components such as nacelles, drive trains and hubs would be manufactured in the U.S., the company added. Nordex is one of the world’s largest turbine makers, with manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the US, Mexico and India. The company has installed more some 51 GW of capacity in over 40 countries worldwide, generating consolidated sales last year of €6.5 billion. Sharma has been leading the company’s U.S. division since May. ⭐Nordex is a member of the Breakbulk Global Shipper Network, a worldwide network of companies and executives involved in the engineering, manufacturing and production of project cargo. The next in-person meet-up for BGSN members will be at Breakbulk Americas 2024 on 15-17 October in Houston.

Swire Projects has teamed up with global #yacht logistics provider Peters & May Group to transport a 275-ton fast support and intervention boat from Walvis Bay, Namibia to Sharjah, UAE. The #heavylift specialist’s 19,600-deadweight-ton Pacific Integrity #multipurpose vessel, equipped with a pair of 240-ton-capacity #cranes, was deployed to transport the 53-meter-long YC Bora, while Peters & May provided detailed planning and a specially built cradle for handling the unit. Namir Khanbabi, general manager of Swire Projects, said the cargo’s substantial size and weight called for “careful planning and execution” during loading operations. “To ensure the cargo’s stability during transit, a custom transport solution comprising of tailored lifting, cradling and lashing techniques was implemented,” the executive said. “The success is a testament to our team’s expertise and dedication to consistently deliver specialized transport solutions with efficiency and precision anywhere in the world.” Robert Blades, global commercial sales manager at Peters & May, said the successful move was testament to the “strong collaboration” between the two companies. “Leveraging Swire Projects’ exceptional heavy-lift capabilities allowed us to meet our client’s requirements with precision and care.

Shell, TotalEnergies, bp and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. have announced they will each take a 10% stake in ADNOC Group's Ruwais liquified natural gas (LNG) project in the UAE. ADNOC will retain a 60% stake and serve as the lead developer and operator in the project. Ruwais LNG is a two-train, 9.6 million-tons-per-year mega-project located in the industrial city of Ruwais some 240 kilometers west of Abu Dhabi. The project is expected to nearly triple the UAE’s existing #LNG production capacity, with start-up slated for the second half of 2028. “We are delighted to welcome BP, Mitsui & Co., Shell and TotalEnergies as partners in ADNOC’s Ruwais LNG project, which will be one of the world’s lowest carbon-intensive LNG facilities,” said Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, managing director and group CEO of ADNOC. “As natural gas demand continues to increase, this world-class project will enable us to provide more lower-carbon gas to meet growing demand today while helping the world transition to a cleaner energy future. Additionally, the project will accelerate development in Al Ruwais Industrial City, boost the local industrial ecosystem and create more skilled private sector jobs for UAE Nationals.” Consultancy Wood Mackenzie said in a statement that the involvement of the IOCs was unsurprising given the project appeals on “multiple levels”. Its advantages include proximity to both European and Asian markets, its relatively low emissions that align with the partners’ #climate strategies and its reduced development risk given ADNOC has already announced its final investment decision (FID). The project will also create a new supply source for buyers: “The majority of new large-scale global supply is from the US and Qatar. Ruwais offers an alternative source of supply,” Wood Mackenzie said. Shell, which has also signed an agreement to offtake one million tons per year of LNG produced by the project, said global demand for LNG is estimated to rise by more than 50% by 2040 as industrial coal-to-gas switching gathers pace in China, South Asia and Southeast Asia. 🔹Shell, TotalEnergies, BP and Mitsui are members of the Breakbulk Global Shipper Network. ADNOC Logistics & Services is an exhibitor at Breakbulk Middle East. #breakbulk #projectcargo #projectlogistics #breakbulkmiddleeast #bbme2025 #oilandgas #energytransition
