Interview With The President Of New Bedford Foss Marine Terminal — CleanTechnica Exclusive
What kind of reception has the local community offered as the New Bedford Foss Marine Terminal continues its early stages of construction?
We have just finished the demolition phase and are now starting to rebuild the bulkheads and do the site grading. One pier will be finished on June 1 and will berth construction tugs and other vessels at the terminal. Other parts of the facility will come on-line over time. Our fuel tanks will be installed in early summer, and dredging activities will start in September. The dredging activities will allow us to install additional CTV berthing and a dedicated OSV berth.
Please explain for our readers what “laydown services for the 450-foot-tall mono towers and more than 300-foot-long wind turbine blades” involves.An offshore wind turbine is an unmanned power plant which is comprised of various components. The wind turbine generator components consist of the tower, the nacelle and the 3 blades .
Servicing the offshore wind turbines upon completion will take crews of up to 90 specialized workers .In scale: Huge. In context: The economic effect is not limited to just the specialized workers that will do the daily O&M work to keep the turbines and substations running. The economic impact starts when construction begins both at our terminal and offshore and continues into the O&M phase once the project reaches 1st electricity.
