While South Terminal will be the first port built specifically to support wind industry shipping and fabrication, there are other ports in the region that can handle the massive components.
According to the South Coast Today, Port of Davisville at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, is one such option. It offers two 1,200 ft piers, a bulkhead and a 14-acre lay down area. A USD 22.3 million grant from the US Department of Transportation in 2010 has helped the port to make improvements necessary for managing wind turbine parts.
