en.Wedoany.com Reported - Global Port Services Shipping (GPSS) has been awarded a contract to provide services for Seaway7, supporting marine logistics and vessel support for the Inch Cape offshore wind farm.

Under the contract, GPSS will use the Port of Cromarty Firth in Invergordon as its operational base, which will support approximately 100 local jobs. GPSS stated that the contract is worth millions of pounds, and the port will also serve as a staging base for the vessel Seaway Alfa Lift, marking the vessel's first call at a UK port.

The contract scope covers four port calls totaling 90 days, executed by companies within the Global Group and local subcontractors providing labour and equipment. The first call is scheduled for March 2026, during which over 100 personnel will provide daily support, covering roles such as painters, welders, electricians, and scaffolders.

Simon Marshall, Shipping Director at GPSS, said the company is delighted to support Seaway7 and play a key role as a staging port for the Inch Cape project. He mentioned welcoming the Seaway Alfa Lift on its first call to a UK port, and that the project will bring significant benefits in terms of employment and the local supply chain.

Joanne Allday, Head of Strategy and Business Development at the Port of Cromarty Firth, noted that the Inch Cape project is the latest wind farm to utilise the port's sheltered deep-water berths. She stated that the port has supported wind farm construction for over 20 years, and such projects fully demonstrate the capabilities of Scottish ports and the supply chain.
