Offshore Contractor Insurance

Every business is different, and so in order to determine the products you need, you should assess the risks you face as a limited company contractor operating offshore in the energy sector. You may also wish to consider the following when choosing your offshore contractor insurance:

• Your end client or agency may expect a particular level of indemnity from your cover, so you should check any contractual requirements.
• If you are not the sole employee of your business, even if you simply hire a spouse to do the books, you may be legally obliged to hold employers liability insurance.

The majority of offshore contractors purchase Public and Employers Liability insurance. Other popular policies for the industry include Contractor's All Risk, Personal Accident, Professional Indemnity, Tax Insurance, and Contractor Sickness Cover.

We provide a selection of example trades in the quote process however our cover is not exclusive to these options. Please select 'Other' in the secondary list and proceed should none apply to you.

​

If you are operating offshore in the energy sector and can successfully complete the application, your policy will cover you (subject to the terms and conditions of the policy wording).

​

Should your application refer, simply complete the registration process or contact a member of the customer service team. It is likely we require some further information of the nature of your business to assess your application - the more information you can provide, the better our customer service agents can assist you.

If you are working both onshore and offshore in the energy sector, please select the Offshore/Site option as this will cover you for both areas.

If, however, your trade is only partially involved with the energy sector e.g., an electrical contractor working both on oil rigs and as a domestic electrician, it is best to contact the customer service team with a description of your services, so we can ensure you are adequately covered.
