Floating Offshore Wind Insurance

Floating offshore wind will play an important role in the global transition to cleaner sources of electricity and will require new engineering solutions. The London Market's Joint Natural Resources Committee (JNRC) has published a guide to help brokers and clients provide the information that insures require to accurately assess and price risks associated with project design, fabrication, installation and operation.
