SeaPass Solutions, Inc., a provider of Web-based insurance distribution solutions to the property/casualty insurance industry, announces the release of Insurance Portal 3.0.

• An expanded set of pre-configured specialty lines products (D&O, E&O, Crime, EPLI and MPL) to complement the full suite of pre-configured insurance products previously provided;
• A full complement of connectors for third party services such as Territory, Address validation, ChoicePoint, ISO, MSB and others;
