Tracking of Green Hydrogen Projects—Sino-Polish Shipping Saudi NEOM Green Hydrogen Plant Wind Power Project Successfully Concluded

On October 30, the vessel "Pilecki" of Chipolbrok arrived at the port of NEOM in Saudi Arabia and successfully unloaded its cargo, which consisted of the final six sets of wind power equipment for the NEOM wind power project—the world's largest green hydrogen plant. This marked the successful completion of Chipolbrok's largest and longest-lasting wind power transport operation since the company began its wind power transportation business in early 2000.

On October 27 local time, a ceremony was held at the berth of the "Pilecki" at the NEOM port, where Chipolbrok's project team, along with port authority representatives and the purchaser, witnessed the unloading of the first wind blade. Captain Norbert Kolf of the "Pilecki" received a commemorative cup from the port, symbolizing the official delivery of the wind power shipping project for the green hydrogen plant. According to the captain, the final shipment of equipment departed from the Taicang terminal in China during the National Day holiday, comprising six sets of wind turbine blades, main engine hubs, and towers.

On the morning of October 28 local time, representatives of Chipolbrok's project team signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the NEOM port on behalf of the company. Both parties agreed to deepen port-shipping cooperation based on regional projects. Melissa Blake, Operations Manager of the NEOM port, stated that Chipolbrok's professional services during the project execution were impressive, and its scientific approach and smooth execution in efficiently and safely unloading all equipment provided valuable reference experience for the port's related services.

Looking back at the project timeline, on September 3, 2023, Chipolbrok's vessel "Krashevski" departed from the Taicang terminal in China with the first shipment of equipment for the project, initiating the relay service for transporting all 251 sets of wind power equipment and 1.41 million cubic meters of unit equipment. Over the course of more than two years, a total of 41 voyages and approximately 17 Chipolbrok vessels participated in the project's transportation.
