Waterson now provides both management services and stevedoring at the Port of Providence.
Chris Waterson, the general manager for Waterson, said the company has gained expertise in offloading wind components and loading of preassembled turbines through its work with Deepwater Wind.
“This expertise has Waterson well positioned to provide stevedoring services at multiple ports to support the surge of wind energy development expected to occur throughout New England in the coming years,” he said, in a news release.
Waterson’s first stevedoring work at Davisville will begin later this month with the arrival of onshore wind turbine components from Spain and Germany. The turbines, manufactured by Vensys Energy Inc., will be used for a 21-megawatt wind farm in Johnston.
