Final Batch of Dajin-Built Monopiles for 1.1 GW Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm Set Sail

Dajin Heavy Industry has shipped the third and final batch of monopiles for the 1.1 GW Inch Cape offshore wind farm in Scotland. The last shipment, consisting of eight monopiles, departed from Dajin Heavy Industry’s Dajin Penglai facility. This completes the dispatch of all 22 monopiles for the project.

The roll-on/roll-off operations for the final two monopiles in this batch were independently managed by Dajin Heavy Industry for the first time. The company handled everything from engineering design and project management to on-site operation.

In January 2024, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Limited, a joint venture between Red Rock Power and ESB, signed capacity reservation agreements with Dajin and CNOOD-Wenchong Heavy Industries (CWHI) for the monopile foundations of the wind farm.

In September 2025, Dajin shipped the first monopiles destined for installation off Scotland’s east coast.

Jan De Nul is in charge of installing the monopiles, which will be loaded at a newly constructed quayside at the entrance to the Port of Leith in Edinburgh.

The entire project includes:

The 1,080 MW Inch Cape wind farm will feature 72 [translate: Vestas V236-15.0 MW] turbines and one offshore substation, which was installed at the North Sea site in early August.
