Port Corpus Christi says it has been a leading port for imports of wind energy turbine components since 2006, but last week handled components for export for the first time.
On Saturday, 35 Mitsubishi wind blades made in Ciudad Juarez in northern Mexico were loaded on a vessel carrier operated by NYK-Hinode.
The blades are destined for Japan.
“The Port anticipates additional wind cargo export opportunities within the upcoming months,” said John LaRue, executive director, Port Corpus Christi.
