Germany’s United Wind Logistics (UWL) has taken delivery of its first new 10,000-dwt deck carrier from China’s Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard. A second vessel will follow later this year.

The BoldWind, which has a deck length of 128 metres and width of 28 meters, is about to start its maiden voyage carrying wind turbine blades from China to Norway.

When the vessel arrives in Europe, it will be employed on a long-term charter for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind.
