Cadeler A/S, a key player in the offshore wind installation sector, has signed a firm contract with Inch Cape Offshore Limited. The agreement covers the installation of 72 Vestas 15MW offshore wind turbines at the Inch Cape offshore wind farm.

The contract value is estimated to range between EUR 114 million and EUR 130 million, with installation scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. This project reinforces Cadeler’s commitment to expanding its partner network while solidifying and diversifying its project backlog.

Located 15 kilometres off the east coast of Scotland in the North Sea, the Inch Cape offshore wind farm will generate enough clean energy to power roughly 1.6 million UK households. Cadeler plans to utilize one of its two newbuild M-class installation vessels to ensure the project’s successful execution. The overall project duration is estimated at approximately 249 days.

Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler, said, “This contract once again illustrates the increasing demand for our new build state-of-the-art vessels and our commitment to expanding our partner portfolio, while strengthening our overall contract backlog. With the recent renewal and continuing expansion of our fleet of jack-up offshore wind installation vessels – the industry’s largest – Cadeler is ready to meet the fast-growing and dynamic market demand.”
