Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical aspects of contract and claim management in offshore wind projects. It emphasizes the importance of an independent contract and claim management department that collaborates closely with technical departments to address contractual issues and minimize legal risks. The text discusses the concept of risk transfer, which occurs upon acceptance of work, and the obligations of both the contractor and client before and after this transfer. It also highlights the significance of issuing a notice of hindrance promptly and accurately to claim extensions of construction time or additional compensation. Additionally, the chapter explores the distinction between the causer and the responsible party in contractual disputes, stressing the need for detailed analysis and clear documentation. The conclusion underscores the importance of well-founded contract and claim management, which includes legal expertise, close collaboration, and clear processes to successfully navigate complex issues and avoid legal conflicts.
