Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, which is an equal joint venture between Red Rock Renewables and ESB, has awarded a contract to UK-based Granada Cranes to provide 72 davit crane units on what will be one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm projects. Granada Cranes has already successfully delivered a single davit crane for the offshore substation in 2024.
Saul Ashton, Technical Sales Manager (Offshore Wind) of Granada Cranes, added:
“We are extremely pleased to have been awarded another prestigious wind farm project. Securing this contract has been a real team effort by the Granada Renewable product and service division. The Inch Cape project is not only great news for Granada but also for our UK-based supply chain. Granada having supplied over 2500 offshore davits is the UK’s leading offshore wind farm davit crane supplier’.
Granada Cranes has been contracted to design, and supply two separate types of davit crane, each to suit the mixed use of jacket and monopile foundation type design. Granada will provide its most modern design for low maintenance, and simplicity of operation for its
users.
The company is already now looking to place orders and sub-contract specialist areas of work to other local businesses.
Production of the first batches from the factory is expected in Q2 2025 and deliveries will continue until the end of the year.
