摘要

During two visits to the Port of Ngqura, Johnson Crane Hire completed a number of complex lifts for the first two batches of giant turbine components for the Cookhouse wind farm near Port Elizabeth. The cargo lifted by Johnson Crane Hire is bound for the Cookhouse wind farm, situated on 9 000 hectares about 150km north-east of Port Elizabeth. This wind farm will be the largest on the continent and is being undertaken by Indian wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Energy and its South African partner, African Clean Energy Developments. A total of 66 turbines, with a combined installed capacity of 138.6MW, will be required.
