Downstream energy insurance

Our downstream energy team offers a range of products to cover refineries, petrochemical, heavy fractionation, fertilizer plants and hydrogen plants.

Coverage also includes all associated assets involved in the transmission, distribution, and storage of refined products. Our downstream offering complements our upstream and midstream capabilities, providing clients with a fully integrated product for the whole energy value chain. Please see midstream for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cover.

Downstream energy coverage options

We write business on a quota share and excess basis.

We can offer capacity of up to USD 200M on Company paper and up to USD 150M on Lloyd's paper.

We can write excess of loss layers.

We do not write a book of primary placements, but will write primary layers where we are able to write the excess layers as well.

We can write pure excess layers where the risk is within appetite and we are unable to take a line on the primary layer.

We do not write Fac RI primaries for other insurers.

Key coverages include:

  • Refineries

  • Heavy fractionation
  • Fertilizer plants
  • Hydrogen plants
