Common Themes/ Considerations
• Failure of working systems • Risks are constantly changing • Human error (1,000 personnel) • Production is extremely quick
(20 months) • Sea Trials in congested waters
24
![Page 26: Construction of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units… …and some](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013009/61ce2e8b13c0430a686e0e87/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Common Adjusting Issues Arising
• Restoration vs replacement • Cost effective repairs (Use of a repair yard?) • Cost presentation – labour / yard costs • Claims Control / Co-operation • WELCAR sub-limits
• Tests, Leak and/or Damage Search Costs • Expediting Costs
25

Working in Korea
• Shipbuilding Nation • Local survey expertise • Cultural sensitivities • Commercial considerations – the ‘Chaebol’ • Local Insurers’ Relationships • Local retentions
26

Summary
• There is demand for new MODU • S. Korea still main market • Construction is highly automated / controlled • Some claims arise (modest compared to value?) • S. Korea is unique
