Components for what will be the world's largest offshore wind farm are now being shipped from Hull.
Known as loadouts, the operation features wind turbine blades made in the Siemens Gamesa factory on Alexandra Dock in east Hull being stacked onboard an offshore support vessel called Sea Challenger before being taken to the new Hornsea Two site in the North Sea.Lying around 55 miles off the coast, the wind farm is expected to become fully operational next year with the capacity to provide power to well over 1.3 million homes.
Crucial to the project's success will be its cluster of 165 Siemens Gamesa turbines spread across an offshore area of 462 square kilometres - four times the size of the city of Manchester - link
