Directive 35/2004/EU led the Insurance Industry to adopt new terms in Pollution Liability Insurance by creating specialized (stand-alone) insurance policies and high limits, in order to meet the increased needs of the policyholder.
Our goal is to provide a “safety cushion” protecting the reputation and financial robustness of our Customer.
