The Port of Argentia sees its latest venture in the wind energy sector as a major coup for international business, but also a training ground for bigger things to come.

The 20-storey monopiles, as they’re known, will be shipped to Argentia on a 210-metre-long vessel, with the first arrival scheduled for August.They’ll then be offloaded and stored there before being shipped again to sites for installation in the ocean floor along the Eastern Seaboard by the Dutch multi-national Boskalis.

Penney says beyond the lucrative contract and spinoffs for the area, it will give the port the opportunity to expand and prepare for inevitable offshore wind projects off Newfoundland.
