Denmark-headquartered Cadeler, which operates the world’s largest fleet of jack-up offshore wind installation vessels, has won a contract to install 72 large turbines at Scotland’s Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm using one of its new M-class wind turbine installation vessels.
The project, worth between EUR 114-130 million and due to start in the fourth quarter of 2026, will take place at the wind farm about 15km off the east coast of Scotland. When the 15-MW turbines are fully deployed at the end of the installation phase lasting about 250 days, the facility will be capable of generating sufficient electricity to supply about 1.6 million UK households.
Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler which is listed on the New York and Oslo stock exchanges, commented: “This contract once again illustrates the increasing demand for our newbuild state-of-the-art vessels and our commitment to expanding our partner portfolio, while strengthening our overall contract backlog. With the recent renewal and continuing expansion of our fleet of jack-up offshore wind installation vessels – the industry’s largest – Cadeler is ready to meet the fast-growing and dynamic market demand.”
