Inch Cape Offshore Ltd has selected Port of Dundee as the pre-assembly and marshalling site for the construction of the 1.1-GW Inch Cape offshore windfarm
The agreement will see turbine blades, towers and nacelles delivered to and pre-assembled at the port’s renewables hub before being shipped for installation 12 km off the Angus coast.
Inch Cape Offshore Ltd has reserved the entire renewables hub at the port, from March 2025 to March 2026, with around 50 staff expected to be on site over that time.
Inch Cape project director Adam Ezzamel said, “Inch Cape will be the largest offshore wind project built in Scotland. The port is ideally sited for our construction operation and offers us the area we require for the number and scale of the turbines we will be deploying.”
Forth Ports director of energy David Webster said, “This is a very significant project for Port of Dundee. We have built Scotland’s only custom-built renewables hub at the port which, when coupled with Dundee’s proximity to the project site in the North Sea and the natural deep waters of the Tay, makes the port ideally suited to the requirements of this major project.”
