Crewsure Launches New Energy Employee Benefits Programme for Offshore Workers

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Crewsure Insurance Services Limited (Crewsure) has announced the launch of Crewsure Energy, a new programme that brings together traditional employee benefits with specialist Crisis Response protection, designed specifically for companies employing personnel working in the international energy and offshore sectors.

The launch represents a natural expansion for Crewsure. The company already provides specialist MLC-compliant crew benefits for personnel working aboard drilling ships and other maritime assets. Crewsure Energy now extends that expertise beyond the vessel to provide dedicated protection for employees and contractors working on offshore rigs and other declared energy operations.

At its core are emergency medical expenses, personal accident and wages protection, with worldwide cover available subject to the policy terms and schedule. The programme also recognises the operational consequences for an employer when a member of an overseas workforce can no longer continue their assignment. Cover can therefore include reasonable additional costs of recruiting and sending a replacement employee overseas following death, illness, bodily injury or qualifying compulsory quarantine.

A major feature distinguishing Crewsure Energy is its integrated Crisis Response protection.

Rather than treating employee benefits and security risks entirely separately, the programme can respond to events including kidnap, detention, disappearance, hijack, hostage crisis, extortion, threats and virtual kidnap, with access to professional response consultants. Crisis benefits can extend considerably beyond the immediate incident, including response consultant costs, travel and accommodation, loss of salary, replacement key-person costs, legal and medical expenses, rehabilitation and job retraining, temporary security measures and other specified additional expenses.

The programme can also provide Emergency Political Repatriation and Relocation and Threat Repatriation, including specified travel and accommodation costs and, in qualifying circumstances, personal effects left behind and irrevocably lost following an emergency political repatriation.

Andrew Briant, Managing Director of Crewsure Insurance Services Limited, said:

“An employer deploying people into challenging locations needs to consider what happens not only if someone becomes ill or is injured, but also if there is a serious security or political incident. Crewsure Energy brings those protections together, combining employee benefits with specialist crisis response in a single programme designed around the realities of an international energy workforce.”

Emergency medical, inpatient and evacuation/repatriation assistance is supported by Northcott Global Solutions, with 24-hour assistance available, while the Crisis Response section provides access to specialist response consultants.

The Medical Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance, Sick Pay and Crisis Response insurance is underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s of London.

Cover is subject to the applicable policy wording, schedule, limits, sub-limits, terms, conditions and exclusions. Availability of cover may vary according to occupation, location and risk.
