With over 50 years of experience as the leader in the industry, WQIS serves the market with the most experienced pollution underwriters in the industry. Today, that same underwriting experience informs all of our other departments, including how we craft our policy forms. We look at underwriting as a finely honed skill, which is continually being refined and adjusted to meet the needs of our assureds. Our experienced underwriters go beyond the standard risk-assessment procedures to analyze every possible risk a policyholder can face so that we provide policyholders with customized coverage that better addresses both known and unforeseen exposures. Our underwriters understand what each individual or vessel needs in order to be fully protected, no matter the situation.

Having the experience and expertise to properly insure the pollution liability risks is the foundation for developing responsive coverage when a loss occurs. Our underwriters analyze each risk to ensure we can provide the best coverage available.
