Ryan Transactional Risk launches environmental cost overrun insurance
Named Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro (RTR Enviro), the product offers environmental remediation cost overrun insurance tailored for corporate transactions, divestitures, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and real estate development projects.
The insurance aims to eliminate or minimise the risk of cost overruns during the remediation of known environmental contaminants, the company said.
RTR Enviro utilises a remediation excess policy form combined with a defined-scope agreement to provide coverage for potential cost overruns.
Ryan Transactional Risk CEO Rich Stansfield said: 'Central to Ryan Transactional Risk's belief in innovation, Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro is representative of RTR's steadfast commitment to delivering transformative products to our valued clients.
'It is a powerful addition to our suite of transactional liability products that will further differentiate the RTR brand. We look forward to the positive impact it will have for our clients.'
RTR Enviro is now open for business with brokers and agencies across the US, both at a global and regional level.
The underwriting team for this new product includes RTR Enviro director Cole Russo, who added: 'Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro is the leader in providing environmental remediation cost overrun insurance. We are bringing back a new and improved version of Environmental 'Cost Cap' insurance that has not been in the market for over 15 years.'
Earlier this month, Ryan Specialty agreed to acquire JM Wilson, an insurance company based in Michigan.
The acquisition, subject to regulatory approval, will see JM Wilson's operations become part of the RT Binding Authority specialty division of Ryan Specialty.
"Ryan Transactional Risk launches environmental cost overrun insurance " was originally created and published by Life Insurance International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Housing development plans for former Flushing Airport site in Queens face community opposition
A large-scale housing development is slated for 80 acres in College Point, Queens. The Adams administration announced the plans Monday. The project aims to combat the housing shortage with 3,000 new units at the former site of Flushing Airport, which was reclaimed by wetlands after its closure in 1984. "For 40 years, this land has just been sitting around," Mayor Eric Adams said. Led by developers Cirrus Workforce Housing and LCOR Incorporated, the development promises 1,300 union construction jobs. The EDC projects $3.2 billion in economic activity generated over the next 30 years. The city calls it a housing victory, but neighbors say they think it's a disaster waiting to happen. "College Point does not have the infrastructure for this. We're not prepared for this. Our roads aren't prepared for this. Our schools aren't prepared for this," civic association president Jennifer Shannon said. "I'm all for seeing some new development," real estate broker Wayne Rose said. "I think it has to be done in a more responsible way. The amount of traffic you're going to be putting onto 20th Avenue is going to make it impossible for us to get in and out." Dr. James Cervino with the Coastal Preservation Network says an overburdened sewer system is already spilling waste into nearby Flushing Bay. But worse, he says, is the prospect of losing the wetlands and a freshwater aquifer to a development. "This also acts as a vacuum cleaner for the residents of Whitestone, College Point, and Flushing. It's a carbon, pollution, dust, and water vacuum cleaner," he said. "What you're going to have is a coast with more rotten-egg smell." And with new development, he says, flooding will get worse. "It's like removing Central Park from New York City," he said. A spokesperson for Cirrus and LCOR told CBS News New York in part: "The proposed development has been carefully planned to prioritize the preservation and enhancement of the site's wetlands through responsible and environmentally sensitive site design. With this in mind, the development will run parallel to 20th Avenue, ensuring that the vast majority of the land will remain undisturbed and preserved as wetland habitat." Cervino is concerned about toxins and pathogens at the site. "You're putting people at risk by moving them into a place where mosquitos breed," he said. The developers vow to remediate the property under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYS DEC) residential safety guidelines. The EDC told CBS News New York the development will undergo a robust review with environmental, parking, and traffic analysis made publicly available. If approved, the EDC says construction could begin as soon as 2028. For James Cervino, compromising the wetlands comes at too high a cost. "We don't pay for that. We're getting a health prescription for free," he said. You can email Elle with Queens story ideas by CLICKING HERE.

Senate Passes Its First Spending Bills, but Battles Lie Ahead
The Senate on Friday overwhelmingly passed the first of its spending bills for the coming year, with bipartisan approval of measures to fund military construction projects, veterans and agriculture programs and legislative branch agencies. But the broad agreement over the $506 billion package of bills, typically the least controversial of the annual federal spending measures, masked a bitter fight in Congress over how to fund the government past a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline. Senators pushed through the legislation after several intense days of haggling as part of an agreement to allow the chamber to make progress on funding the government before senators leave Washington for a monthlong summer recess. 'We are on the verge of an accomplishment that we have not done since 2018 — and that is pass appropriation bills across the Senate floor prior to the August recess,' Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine and the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, said on the floor. Still, debate over the package hinted at the bigger spending challenges that lie ahead. Democrats, furious about the White House's efforts to subvert Congress's power in the purse, are wary of striking spending deals with Republicans when President Trump and his team have signaled they intend to continue ignoring or defying lawmakers' spending dictates, even those enacted into law. And Republicans are fighting among themselves over how closely to hew to the Trump administration's spending targets. The package approved on Friday night would provide $452 billion for veterans programs, $300 billion of it mandatory spending to fund veterans benefits; $19.8 billion for military construction and family housing projects; $27.1 billion for agricultural programs; and $7.1 billion for the operations of Congress and legislative agencies.

This is because Intel acknowledged that tariff-related pull-ins continued in 2Q. The firm has also highlighted that AMD boasts server business strength. It has been gaining market share in EPYC data center CPUs.

A close up of a complex looking PCB board with several intergrated semiconductor parts. Provided this occurs, it would help in reversing the previously anticipated $1.5 billion negative revenue impact from China restrictions. As of now, the firm expects AMD to recover an estimated $800 million in revenue during the second half of 2025 from the potential China sales. It also highlighted that much of the $800 million in MI308 inventory that AMD was planning to write down may now be sold at near-zero cost. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) develops and sells semiconductors, processors, and GPUs for data centers, gaming, AI, and embedded applications.
