Under the contract, OEG will supply an integrated package of specialist topside and marine services, including marine coordination, high voltage, and ancillary port services. These will be managed under a central project team and delivered from the company’s facility in Edinburgh.

In addition, OEG will operate up to ten vessels: seven guard vessels for on-location round-the-clock safety and three crew transfer vessels (CTVs) to support offshore wind technicians working at Inch Cape.

The company will also provide a comprehensive allocation of metocean sensors and navigation buoys, as well as any additional support equipment as required.

“By delivering all the required equipment, services and capabilities in-house, we provide a seamless, efficient solution that reduces complexity and cost for our new client,” said John Heiton, OEG’s Chief Executive Officer.

Over 100 OEG personnel will support the delivery of this contract, which includes the recent addition of six new appointments, according to the company.

The Inch Cape offshore wind farm is located in the North Sea, 15 kilometres from the Angus coast, on a site covering 150 square kilometres.

The developers of the 1.1 GW wind farm, ESB and Red Rock Renewables, reached the financial close on the Scottish project in January, progressing it into the offshore construction phase.

Inch Cape will comprise 72 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines installed on a mix of monopile and jacket foundations, as well as an offshore substation and two 85-kilometre AC export cables, delivering power to an onshore substation, currently under construction at Cockenzie, East Lothian.
