The UK’s Port of Dundee has been chosen as the pre-assembly and marshalling site for the construction of the giant 1.1GW Inch Cape offshore wind farm, being developed by China’s Red Rock Power and Irish energy utility ESB.

The deal for the project, on track to be Scotland’s largest offshore wind development when brought online later this decade, will range over handling turbine blades, towers and nacelles at the port’s renewables hub ahead of the components being shipped out for installation.
