In this IIL marine and energy webinar, Jonathan Wheatley talks about components that cause the most concern for insurers and developers in this fast-growing renewable energy sector.

Description

Submarine cable systems in offshore wind farms have contributed to high incidents and claims for insurers and developers. In 2021 several high-profile developers confirmed to their respective markets that there was a significant issue.

Jonathan explains in more detail what these issues are, how some are caused and how they can be avoided. He also explains that not all cable projects are the same and demonstrates how some carry more risks than others.
