CWHI is pleased to announce the successful arrival and on-time of the first 8 XXL monopiles for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm at Forth Ports Leith, Scotland. This delivery marks a significant milestone in one of the UK's most important offshore wind developments and underlines CWHI's commitment to supporting Scotland's clean energy ambitions.

Fabricated at CWHI's state-of-the-art Qinzhou Yard in China and shipped aboard the COSCO vessel XIANG TAIKOU, the monopiles have now reached their destination on schedule, demonstrating seamless global coordination between CWHI and its logistics partners. CWHI is responsible for delivering 32 XXL monopiles and 30 transition pieces for the project. Each monopile measures up to 11.5 meters in diameter, up to 103 meters in length, and weighs as much as 2,300 tonnes.

“The on-time arrival of these first monopiles at Leith Port is an important achievement for CWHI and our partners. It showcases not only our world-class fabrication and delivery capabilities but also our shared commitment to advancing the clean energy transition,” said Dale Young, Chief Development Officer of CWHI.

CWHI acknowledges the close collaboration with COSCO Shipping and Forth Ports in ensuring the safe transport and arrival of these critical offshore wind components. This milestone reflects the strength of international partnerships driving progress in renewable energy projects worldwide.

Powering Scotland's Clean Energy Future

Located 15 kilometers off the Angus Coast, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm will be one of Scotland's largest offshore wind projects, with a planned capacity of 1.1 GW. Once operational, it will generate renewable electricity equivalent to powering more than half the homes in Scotland, contributing significantly to the UK's net-zero targets.
