Wedoany.com Report-Feb 12, UK company Granada Cranes has won a contract to provide 72 davit crane units for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm in Scotland.
The 1.1GW wind farm, a joint venture between Red Rock Renewables and ESB, reached financial close last month.
Granada Cranes has already contributed to the project, delivering a single davit crane for the offshore substation in 2024.
Technical sales manager for offshore wind at Granada Cranes Saul Ashton welcomed the latest contract.
He said: “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 the second quarter of 2025 and deliveries will continue until the end of the year.
