Inch Cape Offshore Construction Supplier Event

June 25, 2025, 10.30 – 14.30

Montrose Town Hall, Angus

About the event

Offshore construction will soon kick off on Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm. The team will work out of Montrose Port in Angus, which will also be home to the project’s new operations and maintenance base. Construction will also take place from ports at both Leith and Dundee, the marshalling sites for the project’s foundations and turbines. To ensure local companies are aware of offshore construction contracting opportunities, the Inch Cape team would like to welcome the local supply chain to a face-to-face event on Wednesday, 25 June 2025.

The project’s key offshore construction contractors will be presenting and exhibiting and there will be opportunities to discuss their requirements and meet with others in the supply chain. There will also tours of the Port for those interested in all the developments happening there and an opportunity to find out about ORE Catapult’s first Scottish Launch Academy.

The event is being organised by NOF and supported by Forth & Tay Offshore Cluster (FTO) and Montrose Port Authority. There is no cost to attend.
