Insuranceopedia Explains Pipeline Insurance
Pipeline insurance can be quite comprehensive, as pipelines are expensive and exposed to various risks. Given their role in transportation and the extensive areas they cover, this type of insurance may include coverage for property damage, liability, business interruption, and other forms of business loss.
The insurer will assess the condition of the pipeline and the potential risks based on its location. Before granting coverage, the insurer may also recommend safety measures, such as systems for detecting and preventing leaks and spills.
