A wind turbine blade measuring 436 feet and weighing 73.8 tons was successfully loaded onto a ship at Yangzhou Port in China, setting a new record for the longest blade handling operation in the Yangtze River basin. As shown in a video shared by China Global Television Network, port workers utilized a gantry crane cooperative operation system for the first time. The integration of sensors and image recognition technologies enabled real-time monitoring of the lifting equipment, blades, and cargo ships, ensuring that operations were smooth and efficient.
