Offshore energy insurance costs vary significantly based on factors including operation type, location, asset values, safety record, and coverage limits. Typical premiums range from 0.1% to 2% of insured values annually. Oil and gas operations generally cost more than renewable energy projects due to higher environmental risks.

Offshore wind farms require specialized insurance that differs from traditional energy operations. Coverage includes turbine damage, foundation issues, cable failures, and business interruption from weather delays. Many standard policies exclude renewable energy operations, making dedicated offshore wind insurance essential.

UK offshore operations must comply with the Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations, requiring minimum insurance coverage including third-party liability, environmental damage, and well control insurance. The Petroleum Act also mandates specific coverage levels for drilling and production activities.
