A notice in the Olympian:
A ship delivering a load of windmill blades bound for a wind farm in central Washington is expected to arrive this week at the Port of Olympia’s marine terminal.
The 436-foot Industrial Eagle, which departed Santos, Brazil, is expected to arrive Monday, port spokeswoman Kathleen White said Friday.

The blades, manufactured by General Electric, are headed to a wind farm in Vantage, she said. White said dockworkers will work three shifts to unload the ship before it departs later in the week. The port also plans to display some of the blades at the Port Plaza.
The port has handled wind-related cargo for three years, White said.
