Wind energy components at Port of San Francisco
The Port of San Francisco recently welcomed the M/V Star Hansa, carrying wind turbine components for San Leandro, California-based Halus Power Systems.
Halus imported wind tower sections, blades, nacelles, hubs and other parts for three complete wind turbines, which were purchased from a windfarm in Germany.
Pier 80, operated by Metro Ports, is a 70-acre (28.3 heactare) facility that includes over nine acres (3.6 hectares) of covered storage. According to the port, Pier 80 is the only marine terminal in northern California capable of handling containers, breakbulk and heavy lift cargoes.
