Turbine components
Blades, nacelle assemblies, hubs and tower sections sourced from manufacturers against the project specification, with handling requirements identified up front.
Wind equipment sourcing and project supply support
Component and balance-of-plant sourcing for onshore and offshore wind, with the freight and project-cargo coordination that equipment of this size actually requires.
Wind is a heavy-logistics business as much as an energy one.
Wind generation is among the most established renewable technologies, and at utility scale it is cost-competitive with conventional generation in many markets. What has not become simple is moving the equipment: blades, tower sections and nacelles are oversized, high-value cargo with unforgiving handling requirements.
Tristar works on the supply and movement side of that equation: sourcing components and balance-of-plant equipment against a project specification, and coordinating the project-cargo shipping that brings them in. Turbines are manufactured by the producers whose equipment we source, not by us.
Sourcing and movement, handled together.
-
Project-cargo competence
Oversized components need route survey, lifting plans and vessel selection. The shipping desk handles that work rather than subcontracting the thinking.
-
Component-level sourcing
Balance-of-plant equipment, cabling and electrical components sourced against the project specification.
-
Onshore and offshore contexts
Different handling, different vessels, different port requirements: the supply plan reflects which one applies.
-
Single commercial thread
Equipment and its movement contracted through one counterparty, so lead times and laycan windows are reconciled in one place.
Wind equipment we source.
Wind projects are assembled from major equipment and a substantial balance of plant. These are the categories Tristar sources and helps move.
Towers and structures
Tubular tower sections and structural steelwork, including the flange and coating specifications that determine how they are handled and stored.
Electrical balance of plant
Transformers, switchgear, protection and substation equipment that connect a wind farm to the network.
Cabling and connection
Medium and high-voltage cable, array cabling, terminations and accessories for collection systems.
Control and monitoring
SCADA and condition-monitoring hardware for operational visibility across a site.
Spares and consumables
Replacement components and consumables for operating sites, where lead time matters more than unit price.
Where a supply partner fits in a wind project.
-
01
Requirement definition
The developer or EPC sets the technical requirement; we confirm what it means for sourcing, packing and movement.
-
02
Sourcing
Components and balance-of-plant equipment sourced against that requirement, with lead times stated honestly.
-
03
Transport assessment
Dimensions and weights are assessed against route, port capability and lifting requirements before anything is committed.
-
04
Vessel and routing
Suitable tonnage identified through the shipping desk, with laycan and discharge capability confirmed.
-
05
Port and inland coordination
Discharge, storage and inland movement coordinated with port agents and hauliers.
-
06
Documentation
Shipping, customs and technical documentation prepared for the destination market.
The contexts this equipment serves.
-
Onshore wind farms
Utility-scale sites where component logistics and inland transport dominate the delivery plan.
-
Offshore projects
Marine installation contexts with specialised vessel, port and handling requirements.
-
Grid connection works
Substation and collection equipment linking generation to the network.
-
Repowering and upgrades
Component supply for sites replacing or upgrading existing equipment.
-
Operations and maintenance
Spares supply where availability and lead time carry the cost, not the unit price.
What buyers ask about wind.
Does Tristar manufacture wind turbines?
No. Turbines and their major components are manufactured by the producers whose equipment we source. Tristar's role is sourcing, commercial coordination and arranging the movement of that equipment to site.
What makes wind equipment different to ship?
Size and value. Blades and tower sections are oversized cargo needing route survey, suitable vessels, lifting plans and port capability confirmed in advance. Treating it as ordinary freight is how projects lose months.
Can you handle offshore project requirements?
Offshore introduces marine installation constraints and specialised vessel and port requirements. We coordinate sourcing and movement against those constraints through the shipping desk and a partner network, rather than claiming installation capability we do not have.
Do you supply spares for operating sites?
Yes. Spares and consumables are sourced against the part specification, and on that work lead time is usually the deciding factor rather than unit price.
What information do you need to start?
The equipment specification or bill of materials, component dimensions and weights, the destination port and site, and the delivery window. Those four determine both what can be sourced and how it can realistically be moved.
