Inch Cape Supply Chain Expo: 12-13 June 2024
Meet Inch Cape and their suppliers
Date: Wednesday 12 June and Thursday 13 June 2024
Times: Day One 12.00 - 18.00 (UK BST)
Day Two 08.15 - 12.30 (UK BST)
Venue: Forth Ports Leith Cruise Terminal, Ocean Drive, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 6JJ
Forth & Tay Offshore are delighted to be supporting Inch Cape with their Supply Chain Expo on 12-13 June, organised by NOF and hosted by Forth Ports.
After more than 12 years in development, the Inch Cape project is assembling its Tier 1 contractors ready to start full construction. The Inch Cape team is keen to ensure UK companies are well-placed to bid for contracts with their Tier 1s and would like to welcome the local supply chain to a face-to-face event held over two days in June 2024.
A number of the project’s Tier 1s will be exhibiting over two days and there will be opportunities to hear from them directly, book one-to-ones and meet with others in the offshore wind supply chain. There will also be the chance to find out the latest on the project and have a tour of the port at Leith, for those keen to see how it's being developed.
There are limited places for this free event so we ask that you keep attendees to one per company and choose either Day One or Day Two.

Who should attend?
The event is recommended for existing and potential suppliers to the offshore wind sector, particularly those with a local presence or facilities. While attendees can come on either of the days, Day One will focus on wind turbine generators and the wider project and Day Two on the electrical transmission system.
Inch Cape’s available Tier 1 contractors will be present on both days for conversations at exhibition stands or for one-to-ones with suppliers offering goods or services relevant to their requirements.
Those who would like to have one-to-one meetings should register for their preferred day, and then tick the box indicating an interest in one-to-ones. Forth & Tay Offshore will then be in contact to arrange these.

Mapping Offshore Wind Capabilities in Scotland: highlights
Since our Mapping Offshore Wind Capabilities in Scotland survey closed, we’ve been working on standardizing and translating the data. While we continue to work on producing a report of the findings, we have created some images which give a high-level analysis of the responses, showing the strength of the supply chain here in Scotland.
We were very grateful to gather 80 responses, so these figures are representative of that data and how much respondents were able to share within the confines of confidentiality factors. That’s to say that these figures are impressive, but the real scale and potential is so much greater!
Keep an eye out for our full report on the survey findings, where we will go into more detail on the data gathered and what it can tell us about Scotland’s offshore wind supply chain.
Huge opportunity in offshore wind for Scottish businesses
20 March, 2024
With more than 45 gigawatts in the project pipeline, the offshore wind opportunity for Scottish companies is huge.
There are 48 offshore wind projects under development, construction or in operation in Scottish Waters and if the terms of the UK Offshore Wind Sector Deal are met, 60% of the work will be sourced from UK suppliers with the majority being from within Scotland.
To this end, the Forth and Tay Offshore Cluster, set up primarily to support local supply chain development in offshore wind in Scotland, has joined forces with South of Scotland Enterprise, Scottish Borders Council, local windfarm project Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) and Eyemouth Harbour Trust to highlight the scale and scope of opportunity for local businesses across the South of Scotland and further afield.
We are holding an event on Wednesday 27 March at Eyemouth Golf Club, starting at 1000hrs until around 1500hrs, and extend a warm invitation to local SMEs with an interest in finding out more about the offshore wind opportunities in Scotland and where to find support, as well as anyone who may be considering locating in the area. The event comprises presentations from key stakeholder organisations, networking breaks with a small team of exhibitors, as well as a tour of NnG’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) base and Eyemouth Harbour.
