Insurance in offshore wind - where does protection end and risk begin? - STBU workshop
During the session, we will take a close look at real-world contractual challenges and claims handling practices, dividing the meeting into three uncompromising acts:
Act I – 281 days of delay. A USD 2.7 million claim. How much does an offshore specialist’s mistake cost? (case study)
Speaker: Natalia Szymichowska – Marine Insurance Team Leader at STBU
What it’s about: An analysis of a real-life case in which delays and errors generate enormous costs. Where do the boundaries of civil and project liability lie, and how can you protect yourself against a scenario that could threaten the project’s financial liquidity?
Act II – The sea does not issue damage reports. So how do you recover PLN 120,000 for missing equipment? (case study)
Speaker: Ewelina Brzykca – Director of the Transport and Marine Claims Handling Office at STBU
What it’s about: The collision of insurance theory with the uncompromising realities of maritime practice. How do you prove a loss where there are no witnesses or clear evidence, and successfully recover the funds for missing equipment?
Act III – What your broker doesn’t tell you. Where does coverage end and risk begin?
Speaker: Wiesław Szatkowski – Specialist Broker – Property Insurance Office at STBU
What it’s about: The bitter truth about insurance policies and coverage gaps that are rarely discussed openly. Find out whether your insurance programme really protects your business or merely gives you a false sense of security.
Join us and find out how to effectively manage risk in offshore wind energy — and, above all, in its servicing and operations — before an unforeseen loss does it for you.
