CWHI has delivered a third batch of XXL monopiles for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm to the Port of Leith, comprising eight foundations for the Scottish project.

The latest shipment follows two earlier batches and supports continued progress on the project, backed by coordination between CWHI’s production teams, logistics partners and on-site stakeholders.

Dale Young, Chief Development Officer at CWHI, said the company is continuing to supply monopiles for the Inch Cape project with a focus on reliable manufacturing, on-time delivery and long-term cooperation with project partners.

With additional deliveries scheduled, CWHI said it remains focused on maintaining consistent quality, safe operations and steady progress for all parties involved in the project.

This transport was carried out by Cosco’s semi-submersible heavy lift vessel XIANG YUN KOU (IMO: 9483097), which sails under the flag of China. The vessel has a length overall (LOA) of 216.7 m and a beam of 43 m.
