Narragansett Bay to Write P/C Insurance in Connecticut

Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (NBIC), a Rhode Island-based specialty underwriter of homeowners insurance products and services in states along the Eastern Seaboard, said the company has been approved by the Connecticut Department of Insurance to write property/casualty insurance in Connecticut.

The company currently provides homeowners insurance in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey through a network of local independent agents. Connecticut will mark the fifth state where the company provides homeowners insurance.

NBIC said it is currently working to establish agency partners in Connecticut and expects to begin writing business in the state by mid-2016.

“NBIC is thrilled to bring our coastal capacity, risk management expertise and strong service model to agents and homeowners in Connecticut,” said Tim Moura, NBIC’s senior vice president of Marketing, Agency & Client Services.

“We look forward to partnering with Connecticut agents and associations to build a strong, consistent, and reliable presence in this important state,” Moura said.

NBIC, based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, offers specialty insurance services and products to homeowners through a network of independent agents along the Eastern Seaboard, and actively seeks to insure coastal homeowners.
