The contract, which represents Aventus’ single biggest individual contract to date - with value running into the multiple millions - will be delivered at Edinburgh’s Port of Leith in collaboration with fellow Global group companies Global Port Services and Global Crane Services, and port owner Forth Ports.

Having recently commenced, the year-long scope of works will see Aventus Energy receive and inspect the Inch Cape wind farm monopiles, transition pieces and jacket foundations as they arrive into port before executing a number of critical activities to ensure the components are ready for offshore installation and operational readiness.

The contract also involves project management including planning, documentation, survey, quality and technical verification.

Aventus’ largest single project has involved the deployment of a combined team of more than 70 personnel, drawing on existing staff from its Highland headquarters while also employing individuals from within the project catchment area for the duration of the works, creating new skilled roles within the company.

Aventus Energy managing director, Ross Thomson, said: “We’re delighted to be delivering this key renewable energy infrastructure project for Inch Cape at the Port of Leith. Working with group companies Global Port Services and Global Crane Services - and Forth Ports - our multi-disciplinary team is providing the client with a full-service package that will see us carry out surveys upon receipt of the assets, and execution of vital scopes required to ensure their offshore readiness before load out.

“The securing of this major renewable infrastructure project is a key achievement for Aventus Energy and another great opportunity to showcase the capabilities we have within the company but also across the Global group. The award of such a vital contract supporting Scotland’s energy transition is a real endorsement of our ability to deliver safe, high-quality projects not just at our base in the Cromarty Firth Freeport but, beyond, throughout the UK and Europe.”

“We’re pleased to again be working alongside long term partner, Forth Ports - who own the Port of Leith,” adds Thomson. “Their support is invaluable in helping our multi-disciplinary team deliver projects of this scale, providing key plant and access personnel to help facilitate the project.”

Callum Hogan, asset manager for Forth Projects, part of Forth Ports, said: “It is great to collaborate with Aventus and Global at the Leith Renewables Hub for the Inch Cape project. We are playing a pivotal role in the deployment of foundations in Leith now and, later this year in our port in Dundee, the turbines. Forth Ports has privately invested across our people, infrastructure and equipment for this important project.”
