Successful Wind Turbine Surveying at Port of Piteå - Winter 2024
In winter 2024, we had the privilege of providing surveyor services for a significant wind turbine project at the Port of Piteå in northern Sweden. Despite the challenging winter conditions, including thick ice and heavy snow, our team delivered exceptional results, ensuring the smooth handling and transportation of vital wind turbine components.

Overcoming Arctic Conditions with Expertise
Working in northern Sweden during the harsh winter months comes with its own set of unique challenges. The extreme cold, icy waters, and snow-covered terrain require careful planning and quick thinking. However, our extensive experience in working under such conditions allowed us to manage these challenges effectively.
Our team’s deep understanding of logistics management and port operations was a key asset in ensuring that the project proceeded smoothly. From the start, we focused on the details, ensuring that each component was inspected and documented accurately. The combination of our cargo surveyor skills, hands-on approach, and marine surveyor expertise was critical in maintaining the flow of operations.
Streamlined Logistics Support in Winter Conditions
While our primary role was focused on surveying the wind turbine components, we also provided valuable logistics support to ensure the smooth transportation of the components across the port. Working closely with stevedores, transport companies, and port authorities, we were able to quickly solve any emerging challenges on the ground. Our team’s proactive approach and ability to adapt to changing conditions helped prevent potential delays and kept the project on track.
Utilizing modern technologies such as drones and 3D modeling, we were able to monitor operations more efficiently, optimize storage layouts, and ensure the precise handling of each component. The real-time data provided by these technologies allowed us to make quick adjustments and keep everything aligned with the project's objectives.
Ensuring Smooth Operations Despite Winter Challenges
Despite the harsh winter conditions at the Port of Piteå, our team’s experience and focus on the essentials ensured that the wind turbine project was completed successfully. By proactively addressing potential obstacles and providing efficient logistics management, we helped avoid delays, ensuring that the components were delivered on time and stored safely.
Our work at the Port of Piteå highlights the importance of having skilled and experienced surveyors and logistics experts who can adapt to the challenges of working in Arctic conditions. The combination of hands-on expertise, strong communication, and modern technology allowed us to navigate the winter logistics efficiently, helping our clients stay on track even in the most demanding environments.
As we continue to support wind turbine logistics and other projects across the Nordic region, our commitment to innovation and excellence remains strong. The success of the Piteå project reaffirms our ability to handle complex projects under extreme conditions, ensuring smooth and efficient operations for all stakeholders involved.
