Recently, the Zhuhai Deepwater Equipment Manufacturing Base of CNOOC Engineering announced that the first international steel pile type wind turbine duct frame constructed by China, the Yingqi Jiao European Offshore Wind Power Project duct frame, has been successfully delivered. This achievement marks an important breakthrough in China's core capabilities for offshore wind power equipment manufacturing, providing strong support for high-quality and sustainable development of the marine economy.

The Yingqi Cape offshore wind power project is located in the North Sea of Scotland and is a large-scale clean energy project. The project has a single unit capacity of 15 megawatts and a total installed capacity of 1.08 gigawatts. After completion, it can meet the electricity needs of more than half of Scottish households and is of great significance in ensuring local energy supply and promoting green and low-carbon development.

The project includes 18 sets of conduit racks and supporting steel piles, 24 sets of single pile transition sections, with a total structural weight of over 60000 tons. The 8 sets of pipeline racks delivered this time are the last batch of key components, weighing a total of 19500 tons, with the highest reaching 95.44 meters, equivalent to the height of a 35 story building, fully reflecting China's high-end marine engineering equipment construction level.
