An "offshore wind" blows form the land to the sea, this normally happens at night when the ocean is warmer than the land.

What are the differences of the offshore and onshore dichotomy?

Offshore refers to activities that take place in a foreign country, often for tax or cost-saving purposes, while onshore refers to activities that occur within the country's borders. Offshore activities often involve outsourcing to countries with lower labor costs, while onshore activities are typically closer to the company's base of operations. Offshore can also refer to activities that take place in international waters, such as offshore drilling for oil.

What is an offshore platform and how is it different an onshore drilling rig?

An offshore platform is a structure that is installed over as group of wells that was drilled by an offshore drilling rig. The function of the platform is to produce the oil from these wells. A platform can be mounted to the seabed or could be a floating type platform. Offshore drilling rigs are for drilling the wells and are mobile and moved from area to area. Onshore drilling rigs are mobile units too and are moved from pad to pad for drilling and exploration. After a well is drilled onshore, a wellhead is installed on the well. There is no need for a platform as this only economically viable in offshore applications. There have been cases where an offshore well was drilled from land into the sea, but operated from land. This can only be possible if the oil formation is not too far offshore.


Why dividend withholding tax for hedge funds gets allocated to offshore feeder fund - LTD funds and not to onshore- LP funds?

The WHT on domestic securities only arises due to the offshore/foreign ownership so it must be allocated to the offshore feeder in its entirety. Foreign WHT tends to be allocatedproportionateto the onshore and offshore's share of the master. Tax "looks through" the master feeder structure to see the foreign ownership.
