View allFor over 40 years Gallagher has been the proud insurance partner to the fuel industry. Managing risks for transporting fuel and other dangerous goods calls for an in-depth understanding of the practicalities involved; a comprehensive insurance solution with the scope to meet the needs of the sector, and a 24/7 emergency response when it’s required. That’s what we do for our clients at Gallagher.
In today’s environment, where fuel distributors and transporters are increasingly responsible for the outcomes of a spill or other incident involving fuel, it's imperative to know that they're covered across all areas of their business. The difference between having the right comprehensive insurance cover arranged by an expert, can be crucial to the future of fuel carrying operations in the aftermath of an incident.
Over four decades' sector experience
Gallagher isn’t just the biggest transport insurance broker in Australia. To fully meet the needs of the industry we have leveraged more than 40 years’ background in dangerous goods and relationships with Australian peak industry organisations to tailor our exclusive insurance solution: Oilpac.
Gallagher has developed a 'tried and true' fuel and dangerous goods insurance package to protect a range of exposures and industry operators, including
Proven performance
The Oilpac insurance package is a tailored combination of Gallagher experience and industry input. Exclusive to Gallagher, it's been put together to cover all the potential risk exposures, on competitive terms, no matter what type of fuel or dangerous goods business our clients are in. These are bundled to save time and paperwork, so clients can focus on their core business.
Oilpac’s history as an industry-specific insurance means it’s not only the most relevant cover our clients can buy, it’s also competitive. This is due to its long-standing status and the fact that it is sold only to the fuel industry. Since the fuel sector as a whole has fewer claims than some other sectors, Oilpac retains its competitive edge in value for money.
With our wide range of available features and options we have the resources to create a personalised insurance solution for every client’s unique operational needs. This could include one or more of the examples listed below.
The experience that our dedicated Gallagher fuel brokers have in this specific industry can’t be underestimated. They can make sure the cover is relevant, is gap-free and can evolve with our clients as their business grows.
If a fuel or dangerous goods incident occurs, a sense of urgency is paramount. Gallagher has the real-life experience to ensure immediate action is taken and the claim is managed from the time of the incident right through to claim resolution.
We are proud to be the experts in insurance for the Australian fuel carrying and distribution sector.
