OEG’s team in Edinburgh will oversee operations as the Fulmar provides crew and cargo transfers to the offshore substation platform, as well as servicing welfare units supplied by OEG on site.
The Inch Cape offshore wind farm project is located 15km from the Angus coast in the North Sea and is expected to contribute to Scotland’s and the UK’s 2030 energy targets.
The development covers an area of 150km² and, once operational, will include 72 wind turbines and an offshore substation with a total capacity of 1.1GW.
It aims to generate enough renewable electricity to power more than half of Scotland’s households.

By GlobalDataThe Fulmar can transport up to 24 personnel for high-speed transfers and can be configured for longer offshore assignments.
The vessel was designed by Chartwell Marine and constructed by Diverse Marine, a shipyard based in the UK.
It follows the Furioso, another workboat designed by Chartwell Marine that joined OEG’s fleet in 2024. Both vessels are intended to address specific demands of offshore wind projects.
OEG marine services director Leif Cooper said: “We are focused on modernising and streamlining our fleet, introducing newbuilds with lower emissions and higher performance capabilities, and Fulmar is the latest addition in partnership with Chartwell Marine, strengthening our existing capacity.
“We look forward to Fulmar’s first successful deployment on Inch Cape – one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farms – and demonstrating our ongoing commitment to delivering safe, efficient and sustainable support to Scotland’s offshore energy projects.”
At present, OEG owns and manages a fleet of 15 multi-purpose CTVs, operating across the UK, Europe and Taiwan.
In March 2025, OEG Renewables’ Bluestream obtained a contract from TenneT to carry out retrofit installation of a corrosion protection system at the SylWin alpha offshore converter station in Germany.
