Propeller Fuels: Supporting the Offshore Wind Industry in the Forth and Tay
Introduction
The offshore wind industry is a cornerstone of Scotland’s renewable energy drive, with projects in the Forth and Tay regions leading the way. Ensuring the uninterrupted operation of offshore wind farms requires meticulous planning, efficient logistics, and reliable fueling solutions for crew transfer vessels (CTVs) and workboats. Propeller Fuels has established itself as a trusted partner, delivering high-quality marine gas oil (MGO) to keep these vessels operational and ensure project success.
The Challenge
Offshore wind projects demand precision and continuity. CTVs and workboats play a critical role in transporting personnel, equipment, and supplies to offshore turbines. Delays in fuel delivery can lead to project disruptions, increased costs, and potential downtime. The Forth and Tay regions, characterized by variable weather conditions and high activity levels, present logistical challenges that require a reliable and flexible fueling partner.

• Motive Engineering
• Motive Certification & Inspection
Supporting on-site installations, commissioning, testing, and operating, typical operations supported include cable lay and pull-in, subsea installation, umbilical deployment, and recovery, mooring of barges and vessels, and quayside transpooling.
Motive have shared two case studies to showcase what they can do.
Pure energy (REGen) Ltd
Collaboration is at the heart of Pure energy’s core business strategy.
The company specialises in providing integrated B2B renewable energy solutions, examples include a rooftop solar and battery storage system combined with a dual connector electric vehicle (EV) charging station at the Isle of Gigha Camp and Motorhome newbuild facility.
Initially we completed a site survey to confirm the required scope of works and as a result produced detailed electrical design drawings together with an efficient clean energy proposed solution and Project Plan for client approval.
Igne
With decades of experience supporting the renewable energy sector, Igne has established itself as a trusted partner in ensuring the seamless transition of energy from offshore installations to onshore facilities. Our array of services encompasses site investigation, construction materials testing, and unexploded ordnance risk mitigation, all tailored to meet the unique demands of the offshore energy sector and its partners.
Igne, in conjunction with Stockton Drilling Limited and Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited, successfully completed a comprehensive ground investigation for the innovative White Cross Offshore Wind Farm, situated approximately 50km off the North Devon coast.
The investigation, which plays a crucial role in the delivery of the pioneering project which will feature seven floating wind turbine generators, was carried out at the landfall site of Saunton Sands beach car park and along an 8km route to Yelland, passing through various sensitive environmental and agricultural terrains.
