The Danish ship "Beluga Fighter" brought windmill parts to the Ogdensburg port yesterday.
The windmills are destined for the Wolfe Island Wind Farm project in Canada.
Officials at the Ogdensburg Port Authority say the windmill project is large scale and having a positive effect on the local community.
The ship is the eighth vessel to bring turbine parts from overseas and the crew and company involved have been purchasing supplies and eating at restaurants around the area.
The parts are taken from a storage section and placed on barges based on their serial numbers.
Those barges head down the fifty miles to Wolfe Island, near the mouth of Lake Ontario. While it has been an educational experience for everyone involved, the project is also keeping port authority workers busy with extra work, extra hours and most are welcoming the extra income.
The transfer of the windmills should be complete by November.
