In April, DSV completed the delivery of an additional 54 wind turbines to the so-called Clyde Extension of the Clyde Wind Farm.

The addition of these 54 wind turbines, supplementing the existing 152 wind turbines at Clyde Wind Farm, makes the Scottish wind farm, covering 47 square kilometres, one of the biggest in Europe. And, as in 2009 when the farm was constructed, DSV Projects is again responsible for delivering the 54 Siemens wind turbines.

DSV had overarching project responsibility and managed the shipment of blades, nacelles and hubs from the Danish cities of Aarhus and Aalborg to Glasgow. The towers, however, were picked up from a factory in nearby Campeltown and shipped to the King George V Docks in Glasgow. The last leg of the transport from Glasgow to the Clyde Wind Farm was by road through hilly terrain roughly 100 km southeast of Glasgow. Concurrent with the Clyde Wind Farm order, DSV was commissioned to deliver a total of 147 wind turbines to six other wind-turbine projects in Scotland.

The remote location of the Clyde Extension posed many challenges. More than 105 km of gravel roads were built in 2009 to access the remotest corners of the wind farm, which, when fully ready for commissioning later this summer, will generate a total of 528 MW (172 MW from the added turbines alone). Thirteen ships from Denmark and seven from Scotland were used to transport the turbines. Six hundred loads were conveyed from the Glasgow waterfront to the wind farm itself, many of which were oversize with a total weight of up to 150 tonnes.
