The invention relates to a transportation method and a package system for transporting a set of large longitudinal items such as blades for a wind turbine (1) or a tower for a wind turbine. Taking wind turbine blades (1) as an example, the advantages of the invention reside in packaging a tip (3) of one blade and a base (2) of a second blade in the one and same package (5) such that two blades (1) may be transported in packages (5, 16) having an overall lateral extension, approximately the same as the base of only one blade (1) for the wind turbine. Thereby a very compact but also a very easy means of transportation of large longitudinal items such as wind turbine blades (1) is provided.
A method for transporting a set of at least two large longitudinal items such as wind turbine blades or wind turbine towers, said items having first ends with a first circumference and second ends with a second circumference different from the first circumference, said method comprising for each item packaging the first end in a first package, and for each item packaging the second end in a second package, and said method furthermore comprising placing the first end of one item in immediate vicinity of the second end of another item, and placing the second end of the first item in immediate vicinity of a first end of the other item so that a first package of one item is placed in immediate vicinity of a second package of another neighbouring item and a second package of the one item is placed in immediate vicinity of a first package of the other neighbouring item.
A package system for transporting a set of at least two large longitudinal items such as wind turbine blades or wind turbine towers having a first end with a first circumference and a second end with a second and different circumference, said package system comprising a first package for each item packaging the first end, and said package system furthermore comprising a second package for each item packaging the second end, and where a first package of one item during transport and storing is placed in immediate vicinity of a second package of another neighbouring item, and where a second package of said one item during transport and storing is placed in immediate vicinity of a first package of the other neighbouring item.
