PROJECT OF THE MONTH | NEWS
Granada Cranes has been awarded a contract to supply davit cranes for a wind farm off the Scottish coast. I
nch Cape Offshore Wind Farm 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 will design and supply
two separate types of davit crane, each one to suit the different jacket and monopile wind turbine foundation designs. The davit cranes will provide a safe method of lifting and lowering equipment from vessels to the platform. The company has previously delivered a single davit crane for the offshore substation in 2024. “Securing this contract has been a real
team effort by the Granada Renewable product and service division,” said Saul Ashton, technical sales manager (offshore wind) of Granada Cranes. “The Inch Cape project is not only great news for Granada but also for our UK-based supply chain. “Granada, having supplied over 2,500
offshore davits, is the UK’s leading offshore wind farm davit crane supplier.
“We are extremely pleased to have
been awarded another prestigious wind farm project.” The company is 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.
Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm is an equal joint venture between Red Rock Renewables, a Scotland-based developer, owner and operator of renewable energy projects, and ESB, which operates across the electricity market in Ireland. At almost 1.1GW, the project is one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm projects and will play a significant role in support of the Scottish and wider UK’s offshore wind targets. The 72 turbines will be sited in the North Sea, 15km off the Angus coast. The power generated will be transported 85km to a new substation at Cockenzie, in East Lothian, from where it will enter the national transmission system.
