DSV, the world’s largest Danish transport and logistics firm, and Ørsted, the world’s largest Danish energy provider, will test long-distance drone shipment of spare parts and tools in Denmark’s Kattegat Sea.
Ørsted has set an ambitious target of becoming carbon-neutral by 2025, and it is always looking for new methods to assure high wind farm availability while reducing carbon emissions from service logistics. DSV is always innovating and optimising its logistics services. As a result, the two main Danish firms have a shared interest in evaluating the role cargo drones may play in sustainable logistics for offshore wind farms.
Fast and efficient alternative
Offshore wind farms are often positioned far from shore, with service technicians and replacement components carried by ship. Technicians bring their tools and the most often needed components for the wind turbines, but if unusual replacement parts are required, they must return onshore. This is both costly and time-consuming, so repairs are frequently postponed until the next day.
Cargo drones, as an alternative, can provide logistical assistance, particularly for minor spare parts, resulting in a considerably faster wind turbine restart.
