Global Port Services, part of Global Energy Group, has introduced a new crane and installation division in response to the projected rapid growth of UK renewables.
Specialising in the installation and maintenance of both onshore and offshore wind turbines, Global Wind Projects will support the growing demand of the wind industry, including its Port of Nigg facility (pictured).
Having already secured three major contracts for 2022, the new division is aiming to become a leading provider of wind turbine installation services in the UK and Ireland.
GWP general manager Ryan Burke said: “Global Wind Projects has been established to address the unprecedented growth in onshore and offshore wind around the UK and Ireland.
“We will complement the already leading crane service offered by Global Crane Services (a fellow division of Global Port Services) to offer a complete installation and crane package for wind farm developers.
“With three major onshore contracts already secured, Global Wind Projects recruited 35 skilled turbine technicians this month alone and expect to double the size of the team with three months, with further growth expected beyond that, too.”
