Offshore Energy Insurance

Harnessing the power of offshore wind

The winds that once drove our vessels across vast oceans may now be the key to powering our future. Offshore wind provides one of the most reliable and powerful sources of renewable energy on the planet. The rewards are great. But the risks are unique. For the businesses who are boldly taking to the seas to chart a course for a greener future, Travelers provides innovative offshore energy risk management, safety management and quality assurance solutions.

Our market-leading underwriters and specialised Claims team have a thorough technical understanding of industry-specific risks. And, with in-house engineering, risk control and modelling, we can anticipate and mitigate risks yet to come. All while reducing the complexity, expense and resolution time of claims. When a business’s ambitions don’t end at the coastline, Travelers is here to help protect its present and future – no matter what the winds of change may bring.
