On January 18, 2026, Ørsted successfully completed the first of eight major abnormal load movements for the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, transporting a 350-tonne transformer from King's Lynn port to a converter station in Swardeston, Norfolk. The transformer, moved on a specialized 28-axle trailer, is crucial for power conversion at the wind farm. This operation, managed by Create Consulting Engineers, marks a significant milestone in the logistics of one of the world's largest offshore wind developments.
