LIABILITY can be met in various guises.
The most familiar form is most probably legal liability: liability arising from law. In the corporate environment can one also be faced with contractual liability when any party is suffering loss or damage by not (entirely) fulfilling contractual demands.
Since the extent of liability and the amount of compensation are hard to value in advance, insuring liability is with round sums insured. This sum or so called the insured limit, can range from EUR 100,000 per claim for professional liability up to EUR 5.000.000.000 liabilities arising from the ownership or charter of a vessel.
To do the job, the most advanced and expensive equipment does not lead to optimal performance without the right staff. Whether for employees with a permanent contract or hired as temporary staff forces, secondment or self-employed, work in the oil & gas and offshore wind industry requires people who can handle responsibility and, last but not least people always having an eye for the safety of themselves, colleagues and the workplace.
Within the (offshore) energy industry contractors work with -either owned or hired- highly advanced equipment.
High safety standards, maximum efficiency, strict environmental requirements and last but not least extreme conditions require for the best materials.
Insuring such equipment both onshore and offshore, requires knowledge of and experience with the industry. Cover should be in place in case of hiring, rental, in remote locations, during transport, interim storage, use in war zones, etc. etc.
Based on years of experience to ensure the most diverse situations a range of policy conditions has been developed which provides cover for all the above mentioned circumstances and risks.
Like with equipment applies to vessels within the offshore industry that there is a huge variety of vessel types. Highly sophisticated vessels, specially designed and built for working on offshore installations, building and maintenance of windmill parks, laying of pipelines and cables, etc. have led to wonderful products delivered by the international shipbuilding industry.
