Environmental/Energy Offers Unsupported Excess

The Mid South region recently wrote an unsupported Environmental Excess Site Pollution policy, providing $10M excess $140M for a U.S. based Oil Company focused on exploration and development. The company is actively engaged in onshore domestic oil and gas production. The risk entails producing oil and gas wells, new wells to be drilled and completed, pipelines, natural gas gathering systems, compressor stations and bulk storage tank facilities. The one-year term for this unsupported excess site pollution coverage was bound for $100K in premium, and follows form over the underlying primary and excess site pollution policies.

  • Unsupported available on non-Markel underlying Environmental policies

Coinsurance Penalities are on the Rise
Over the past few months we have seen inconsistencies with insured values vs. property values, leading to coinsurance penalties.  Sometimes, the property is simply undervalued and sometimes the inspector and adjustor are not on the same page.  Either way, it is important that you and your retailer are diligent in placing adequate limits.  The linked article, by Claims Manager, Keith Eggland, explains the coinsurance provision and describes its significance.
