The first shipment of XXL monopile foundations for Inch Cape Offshore Windfarm has arrived in the Port of Leith marking the start of a new era for the recently completed Forth Ports’ renewables hub.

These eight massive monopiles, each up to 103 metres long and weighing around 2,300 tonnes, arrived via heavy transport vessel at the new deep-water Charles Hammond Berth - a key element of Forth Ports’ GB£150 million marine construction investment.
