Are your agency’s insured protected from marine pollution risks?

Interview With Marine Pollution Expert Justin Mongello

Justin Mongello is the President and CEO of Water Quality Insurance Syndicate (WQIS). It is the largest underwriter of pollution liability insurance for marinas and vessels in the United States.

What do agents need to educate clients about this type of coverage?
We find that the first and well-deserved pollution concern for marina and vessel operators is fire and property damage to customers’ boats under their care. In addition, they may have their vessels in the marina.

It can be an afterthought if they haven’t had a pollution incident yet, but a fuel spill can be a very significant exposure. Operators need to be able to respond quickly to keep the water clean. The key to handling any discharge is response time and getting somebody on the spot as soon as possible.

In our full interview, Justin discusses how agents can help their clients address marina and vessel pollution liability issues.

An Interview With Pollution Insurance Expert Dave Quinn – The Sales Opportunity for Agents

Written by SysAdmin on . Posted in Pollution Insurance.

In this interview, NAESIP CEO Dave Quinn discusses how agents can add pollution insurance to their book of business to a wide range of clients.

Do you think most agents recognize the sales opportunity for pollution insurance?

NAESIP specializes in pollution insurance, and part of our process
is to educate agents about the sales opportunity pollution insurance offers. Most general liability policies today have an absolute pollution exclusion. But, many non-environmental businesses have a pollution risk that often is not covered properly.

Can you have a cyber and pollution claim?

Written by SysAdmin on . Posted in Pollution Insurance.

Insurance agents who want to expand coverage offerings are recommending cyber to their clients. With media attention on cyberattacks, agents and their clients are very aware of the need to protect their businesses. Most people don’t link cyberattacks with pollution events, but hacking-related pollution incidents are on the rise. https://bit.ly/3uV0Jpb

NAESIP’s Pollution Coverage is Built for each Developer

Written by SysAdmin on . Posted in Pollution Insurance.

NAESIP pollution liability for developers provides coverage that is built for the business situation of the client. This makes it different than standard contractor pollution policies.

NAESIP’s developer pollution coverage includes sites that are: owned, leased, or occupied by the insured. The insuring agreement includes anything emanating from, on-top of, at, or underneath the locations scheduled onto the policy.

Contractor policies do not cover sites that are owned, leased, or rented, and the agreement strictly includes places where the insured does their work. NAESIP can also add a number of endorsements to cover transit pollution away from the site and waste streams that may be taken to non-owned disposal sites.

Some sites, like office buildings, have innocuous exposures. Exposures could increase in locations with a shopping center with a dry cleaning business or a manufacturer that uses chemicals. Site history is important to consider.

For example, a pristine apartment complex may appear to have limited exposure, but what if it is built on top of a landfill that could present vapor issues at a later date?

This is why NAESIP tailors site policies to each client and their exposure.

Why should you get pollution insurance from NAESIP instead of other wholesalers?

Written by SysAdmin on . Posted in Pollution Insurance.

The most important thing to NAESIP is our relationship with our retail agents. NAESIP invests in our agent relationships to produce unique pollution insurance offerings to the marketplace that are better than what it currently available.

NAESIP also has direct relationships with the majority of our carriers. We focus on creating “exclusive” pollution insurance products such as master policies for certain industries instead of creating “exclusive” markets.

NAESIP writes for a large number of different groups that need pollution coverage. For example, we have an exclusive risk group in 11 states for clients that work in the auto service sector, including dealerships, body shops and car washes.

NAESIP responds to the needs of its agents. We are currently developing another pollution insurance product for home inspection companies in conjunction with a retail agent and his 1,000-member association client.

Public entity environmental risks underground storage tanks, landfills, maintenance garages, storage facilities, and more.

  • landfills
  • maintenance garages
  • hospitals
  • schools
  • offices

Public Entity Contractors Pollution Liability covers pollution events conducted by or for the public entity. It provides coverage that most General Liability policies do not.

Exclusive Automobile Service Center Pollution Program – 65% Quote to Bind Ratio

Written by SysAdmin on . Posted in Auto Service Centers.

NAESIP’s “exclusive” auto service center pollution program is a master policy designed for garage operations where vehicles and equipment get serviced. The kind of accounts we like to write are: garages, collision centers, body shops, car washes, equipment dealers, new and used auto dealerships and oil change places like Jiffy Lubes.

We are currently running with a 65% quote to bind ratio.  This is a very comprehensive, extremely competitively priced product on admitted paper. It’s a great door opener for your producer or a great way to round out existing accounts or just protect your E&O.  (Be sure to document the file if the insured decides not to take the coverage.)

The plan automatically covers above ground storage tanks, and underground tanks can be underwritten separately as well. To learn more click here
