Pollution Liability Insurance For Truckers

What is Pollution Liability Insurance Coverage?

Anyone hauling hazardous materials or any commodity that might affect the environmental ecosystem if polluted. Ex: When a cement truck turns over and pollutes a stream, how is that insured’s exposure addressed? If a freight hauler is unloading drums of soap and one of those drums turns over and spills into a storm drain, how will the insured be protected? In the environmental marketplace, carriers will offer transportation pollution liability ("TPL") coverage to address these exposures.

Who Is Pollution Liability Coverage For?

Transportation pollution liability provides protection for products or materials transported, shipped, or delivered by the insured or by a carrier on the insured’s behalf. Environmental carriers typically offer this enhancement on risks with transportation exposure and some carriers will also specifically include loading and unloading. While unendorsed contractor’s pollution liability ("CPL") policies may include coverage for vehicle use at a jobsite, they typically offer little or no coverage for transportation exposures away from a jobsite. TPL would be available to address this exposure. Additionally, TPL is available for site-specific risks with transportation exposures including manufacturers, freight forwards, and distribution centers. This enhancement can be endorsed onto site pollution to address their exposure.

What are the requirements?

Pollution Liability Insurance

While capabilities vary from carrier to carrier, most insurance companies offer coverage on a blanket or scheduled basis with occurrence and claims-made triggers available. Typically, minimum premiums start around $2,500 with $15M in limits available. Submission requirements include environmental supplemental application, motor vehicle reports, loss runs (CPL and/or auto), and schedule of vehicles.
