PORTLAND (AP) – A shipment of wind turbines headed for New Hampshire has brought some good news to officials in Portland, Maine.
Officials say the shipping company saved in fuel costs by diverting to Portland instead of traveling to its original destination in Pennsylvania. City Manager Joe Gray says the shipment underscores an opportunity for Portland for shipments bound for the Northeast and Canadian Maritimes.
Portland’s International Marine Terminal was forced to shut down in late June because Columbia Coastal Transport of New Jersey stopped barge service after losing a key customer.
The wind turbines are headed for Lempster, N.H., where a commercial wind farm is being built.
