CWHI has completed the load-out and departure of the final batch of Transition Pieces (TPs) for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, with the shipment bound for the Port of Leith and marking completion of all 30 TPs under the contract.

The company reported that, in November 2025, it became the first supplier from China to deliver fully commissioned transition pieces, when the first 15 units were delivered. The final 15 TPs departed as scheduled in February 2026 aboard the COSCO vessel HUA XING LONG.

A timeline of milestones provided by the company includes first cutting and the start of production in January 2025; the first TP “black release” in June 2025 alongside 500,000 safe work hours; 18 of 30 TPs fully released by October 2025; the first batch delivery of 15 TPs in November 2025 with a 1,200,000 safe work hours milestone; and the final batch load-out in February 2026 completing deliveries with a milestone of 1,800,000 safe work hours.

Each transition piece is stated to be up to 28 m tall, with an outer diameter of 8.3 m and a weight of approximately 600 tonnes. The company said completion of the scope supports its role as a supplier of offshore wind foundation structures.
