BBC Dubai Cargo Ship Transports Massive 250-Foot Wind Turbine Blades Through Welland Canal.

Witness an incredible drone-captured journey as the BBC Dubai, a state-of-the-art LakerMax general cargo ship, navigates the narrow waters of the Welland Canal near Port Robinson, Ontario. This 150-meter-long vessel (LOA 149.95m, beam 23.2m), built in 2024 by BBC Chartering and flying the Antigua & Barbuda flag, is specially designed for the Great Lakes with box-shaped cargo holds capable of accommodating units up to 104.3 meters long under deck. In this footage, she's upbound from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, en route to Erie, PA, carrying an impressive load of giant wind turbine blades—each measuring around 250 feet (76 meters) in length—for a wind farm project in Western New York.
These enormous blades, part of a shipment of approximately 75 units imported from overseas, highlight the engineering marvels of renewable energy transport. The BBC Dubai's triple-deck cargo hold (offering nearly 26,000 cubic meters of space) and heavy-lift capabilities make her ideal for such oversized cargo, which is secured prominently on deck and in holds for the transit through the canal's locks.
Filmed with stunning aerial views, watch as the ship maneuvers precisely through the canal, showcasing the blend of modern shipping and sustainable energy infrastructure. If you're into ship spotting, drone videography, or green tech, hit like and subscribe for more epic maritime adventures!
