TankOwners Pollution Liability

Mid-Continent Group (MCG), completed an asset purchase of PRO Managing General Agents, Inc. and Tank Owners Members Insurance Company, to acquire the TopTanx ® and TOMIC book of pollution liability business in January 2018. Upon purchase, Mid-Continent performed an in-depth assessment of the TopTanx ® , TOMIC, and MCG books of tankowner pollution liability. To integrate all coverage forms and provide the best product available, Mid-Continent created a new TankOwners Pollution (TOP) liability policy.

Effective January 2019, the TopTanx ®, TOMIC, and MCG books of business will be merged into one, and the new TankOwners Pollution Liability policy will be offered to all our policyholders.
