Beyond this, WQIS is backed by 16 of the largest marine insurance com-panies in the world.Through WQIS's technology devel- oper, Greenfish Software, MPRG uses a sophisticated spill management andcost accounting system. Used widely by government agencies, the software improves decision making and mini- mizes costs for the client-both in cleanup expenses and third party claims. WQIS provides water pollution lia- bility insurance for over 40,000 ves- sels operating in U.S. waters or travel- ing in international waters between U.S. ports. WQIS also provides COFR guaran- tees for over 2,500 vessels to the U.S. Coast Guard. And, vessels everywhere have been issued a WQIS Bunker Convention blue card.
