For the general rules, see ANSI/API RP 14F-1999, Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Electrical Systems for Fixed and Floating Offshore Petroleum Facilities for Unclassified and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 Locations.

In the U.S., the United States Coast Guard maintains offshore jurisdiction in most cases and is generally covered by Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations.

I am not personally of your application but there are many regulations. My marine experience is limited to onshore power distribution at ports.
