Coastal States Insurance

Our company was established in 1991 by former chemical tanker risk managers. Mark Vaccaro, the president of Coastal States Insurance, has been to sea on tankers, worked ashore for a major chemical tanker ship-owning company, and has been with the company since 1993. Our aim has always been to utilize the background and skills of our staff to take a creative approach toward problem solving. We have never been satisfied with maintaining the "status quo".
CSI is considered by many in our industry to be a leader in developing innovative insurance products designed to meet the needs of our clients.
