Midstream energy insurance

Our midstream energy team offers a range of coverages including physical loss or damage, machinery breakdown, business interruption, loss of production income/tariff, and incidental course of construction.

We cover the full spectrum of assets, from gathering transmission systems, gas plants, and oil separation through large-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import and export facilities. Markel is recognized as a leader in the midstream market and we work with our experienced, in-house engineering capability to offer industry-leading underwriting expertise to our clients. We write business globally including in the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe.

Midstream energy coverage options

We can offer line sizes up to $250m on Company paper or $150m on Lloyd's paper.

We consider ourselves predominantly quota share (re)insurers.

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:

  • Onshore gas processing, storage, and distribution
  • Terminals, tanks, and associated product in storage
  • LNG import and export infrastructure
  • Pipeline transmission systems
  • Loss of tariff/business interruption
