July 8, 2025, by Adnan Memija

Deugro’s Rotra Futura, which was delivered in April 2025, has officially commenced operations with the transportation of offshore wind turbine blades from Denmark to the US.

The project supply vessel, specifically designed to handle larger and heavier offshore wind turbine components, collected the 108-metre blades at the Port of Aalborg under the supervision of deugro Denmark’s wind team. Rotra Futura is carrying the blades to Portsmouth Marine Terminal in Norfolk, Virginia.

“Witnessing the first loading operation executed so smoothly and precisely – just as we had planned for – is a proud moment for our entire team. Rotra Futura has performed to our full expectations, reaffirming her vital role in supporting the logistics needs of the offshore wind market,” said Dennis Bjørslev Jensen, Branch Manager, deugro Denmark.

Concordia Damen collaborated with Amasus, deugro Denmark, Siemens Gamesa, and DEKC Maritime in the development and construction of two RoRo vessels, namely Rotra Futura and Rotra Horizon.

Rotra Futura was launched at Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard in China in November 2024.
