WTIV Incident at Port of Esbjerg Damages Nine Offshore Wind Blades
High winds caused the Fred. Olsen Windcarrier-owned WTIV Brave Tern to collide with a crane and Cadeler's Wind Keeper at the Port of Esbjerg on June 10, damaging nine offshore wind blades destined for RWE's 1.1GW Thor wind farm. The Danish Maritime Authority detained the vessel. Each blade is valued at approximately €3.6m ($4.15m). One person was sent to hospital for a checkup. The incident may delay turbine installation work on the Thor wind farm, which began in March and was scheduled for completion this year.
