On 30 September, Rhenus and ENERCON celebrated the christening of the new push barge \u201cRhenus Berlin I\u201d at the Bulk Cargo Terminal in the Port of Szczecin. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The custom-built inland vessel, designed specifically for transporting the latest generation of ENERCON onshore rotor blades, stands for multimodal, sustainable logistics solutions and the shift of project transports to the waterway.<\/p>\n

The \u201cRhenus Berlin I\u201d was constructed from two existing barge parts at the Szczecin shipyard between April and September 2025. The vessel measures 100 metres in length, 9.46 metres in width and has a draught of 1.65 metres. The cargo hold measures 91.5 by 7.65 metres, which is ideal for transporting up to two rotor blades measuring up to 86 metres each, while the cargo hold is big enough to also fit future rotor blade generations with lengths of up to 88 metres. For maneuverability, a bow thruster is used, powered by an engine retained from the predecessor vessel BUG 1. No new main propulsion was installed, deliberately conserving resources. To further decrease the CO2 footprint, the vessel is operated with the synthetic fuel HVO100. Rhenus is already planning to build further push barges in a similar design.<\/p>\n

The christening took place at the Katowickie Wharf, on the terminal premises of Bulk Cargo \u2013 Port Szczecin, which joined the Rhenus family in January 2025 and is the largest terminal operator in the Port of Szczecin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe christening of \u2018Rhenus Berlin I\u2019 at the Bulk Cargo Terminal is not just a symbol of the innovation and sustainability with which inland navigation is driving forward the future of the logistics industry,\u201d explained Martin Panasewicz, Managing Director of Deutsche Binnenreederei, which operates the vessel. \u201cIt is also a symbol of the long-standing and fruitful cooperation between inland navigation entities in Germany and Poland. We value the expertise, quality and long tradition of the Szczecin shipyard, which is why we chose to build our new barge right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within the coming weeks, the \u201cRhenus Berlin I\u201d will start its operation exclusively for ENERCON in order to conduct and safeguard the construction site logistics for the wind energy technology innovator. The designated operation area will be the North German canal region, connecting the seaports with project regions in Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure the timely delivery of our customers\u2019 wind farm construction sites, we develop tailor-made transport concepts,\u201d says Hendrik Peterburs, Vice President of ENERCON Global Logistics. \u201cWe rely on state-of-the-art transport equipment and proven service partners \u2013 and, when necessary, organize the transport chains for ENERCON wind turbine components using multimodal solutions involving ships, trucks, inland vessels, and other specialized equipment. The push barge Rhenus Berlin I \u2013 customized for E-175 EP5 rotor blades \u2013 is a prime example of this solution expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
