Blades Sail from Everglades to Costa Rica

Crowley Maritime Corporation's liner services group recently shipped six wind turbine blades from Port Everglades, Fla., to Limon, Costa Rica.

The blades, which weighed two-and-a-half tons each and were 72 feet long, were lifted on board the Crowley’s 13,760-deadweight-ton Stadt Emden using gantry cranes, slings and hooks.
