Offshore Platform Model Introduced at London Seminar

Risk Management Solutions (RMS) hosted a seminar in London introducing the new RMS(TM) U.S. Offshore Platform model. Over 90 members of the insurance, reinsurance, and weather brokering industry attended at the London Underwriting Center. The new Offshore Platform model employs stochastic storm events to generate a robust estimate of the risk posed to an individual platform or a portfolio of platforms, including the probability of exceeding various levels of loss. It uses the same underlying wind hazard model and storm set as the RMS(TM) U.S. Hurricane model, allowing for simultaneous loss calculation for onshore and offshore exposures. Comprehensive exposure data for over 4,000 fixed and floating platforms are included to aid in accurate high-resolution analysis.
