Bermudian-based Everest Re Group Ltd has announced the launch of Everest Alpine Insurance, which the company describes as a “new, enhanced version” of its multinational coverage form.

The company says Everest Alpine can provide clients with international exposures in any combination of the following six lines of coverage: general liability, contingent auto liability, business travel accident, foreign voluntary workers’ compensation, kidnap/ransom/extortion, and commercial property.

Enhancements to the form, the company said, include expanded coverage for business travel accident and kidnap, ransom, and extortion coverages, as well as enhancements for educational, manufacturing and business services accounts.

“We are pleased to continue expanding our product offering, supported by our Everest Insurance International colleagues and a network of other leading providers, to better meet the evolving needs of our multinational clients,” said Douglas Guenther, head of Everest Multinational.

“As more US-based businesses look to expand their operations internationally, we are working to ensure our product offering facilitates their ability to do so with confidence and ease.”
