Port Corpus Christi has been a leader in the movement of wind energy cargo since 2006. The port had a record breaking volume year in 2012. Previously, this type of cargo was imported.
New trends in the wind energy market have created a reverse trade for 2013. On Saturday, May 18, wind components destined for export markets were loaded at Port Corpus Christi for the first time.
36 Mitsubishi wind turbine blades were loaded aboard the NYK-Hinode, m/v Kuwana, destined for Japan.
In commemoration of the first export of wind energy components via Port Corpus Christi, Director of Business Development, Ruben Medina, presented m/v Kuwana's Captain, Wendell P. Loyola with a plaque.

The South Texas Alliance for Regional Trade (START) is a collaboration between three South Texas regional ports and has inspired a call to action for other Texas ports to model.
The alliance highlights combined assets of the seaport at Port Corpus Christi, inland truck and rail port of Laredo, and rail and air capabilities at Port San Antonio to promote the South Texas region.
Texas is the top maritime state in the United States. A recent story in the Houston Chronicle suggests that other Texas ports follow the START model.

Participation in wind energy component cargo from global markets since 2006 has made Port Corpus Christi a leader in import facilities for all major manufacturers. The Port had a record-breaking volume year in 2012. However new wind energy market trends have created a reverse trade in 2013. On Saturday, May 18, wind components destined for export markets will be loaded at Port Corpus Christi for the first time.
Vessel carrier NYK-Hinode’s m/v Kuwana will load 36 Mitsubishi wind blades destined for Japan at Port Corpus Christi’s cargo dock 9. The operation will mark a first-time export opportunity for wind cargo components via the Port. The blades staged at Mitsubishi’s laydown yard located in Santa Teresa, New Mexico were manufactured in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. In April, the blades were trucked from New Mexico to a Port Corpus Christi open storage area, located adjacent to Cargo Dock 9, to await the export operation. “The Port anticipates additional wind cargo export opportunities within the upcoming months. We continue our commitment to better serve the logistics of wind energy markets,” said John LaRue, Executive Director, Port Corpus Christi.
