The wind turbine equipment will be imported from various countries, and will arrive on ships into the Port of Geelong. The client may alternately source local towers. The likely berth for these shipments is the Corio Quay Berth. Access from the storage to the Public roads, is via Corio Quay Road. This route has no Obstacles from the port to the Princes Freeway, and has wind turbine equipment of up to 62 Metres, in the past. 18 Transport management plan Lal Lal windfarm 10.0 Transport Summary.
