Forth Projects recently successfully completed the first heavy lifts at its newly developed outer berth in Leith. Two 125-tonne shunt reactors for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm onshore substation were safely and efficiently unloaded from the vessel H&S Honesty. The cargo was transferred to the new heavy lift quay and then to Allelys’ specialised transport for delivery to the substation in Cockenzie. Additionally, two 274-tonne super grid transformers are expected early next year for the Inch Cape Substation.

More good news this morning! We are thrilled to share that we won the Supply Chain Impact Award at the recent RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind Awards, for our significant impact on developing the supply chain. Forth Ports Limited is implementing an offshore wind, multi-port infrastructure strategy to address the UK’s port capacity challenges and significantly contribute to supply chain development, supporting the UK’s offshore wind ambitions. This proactive investment ensures that the UK can support developer projects and instil market confidence in the supply chain, with the necessary infrastructure to deploy offshore wind at both scale and pace. Infrastructure is the backbone of any industrial cluster. Our purpose-built port infrastructure not only captures project activity and fosters supply chain development but also facilitates the creation of manufacturing facilities. This presents a tremendous opportunity for the UK to transform project-based offshore wind activities into a long-term, sustainable industry, benefiting the green industrialisation of the UK and future generations.

Breaking news this morning: the Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm has started feeding power into the national grid. This achievement is a landmark in Scotland and the UK’s pursuit of their net zero goals. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2025. David Webster, Commercial Director at Forth Ports, said: “Great news today that Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm has achieved first power. This is a significant milestone for a project that we have been proud to support here at the Port of Dundee and we look forward to working with NnG to complete this major infrastructure project over the coming months. Our attention then turns to our next major offshore wind project with Inch Cape offshore wind farm, to be located off the Angus coast in the North Sea.” EDF Renewables UK & Ireland #nng #neartnagoithe #portofdundee #offshorewind #firstpower
