385H: Regulated offshore installations to have certificates of insurance

You could also call this:

"Offshore installations must have insurance certificates to operate legally."

If you have a regulated offshore installation, you must have a current certificate of insurance. This certificate must be issued, recognised, or accepted by the Director under section 270 or section 271. The Director can issue, recognise, or accept these certificates for your installation.

The Director follows section 270 or section 271 when dealing with certificates of insurance. You need to have one of these certificates in force at all times for your regulated offshore installation. This is a requirement for every regulated offshore installation.
