Civil and political unrest and government reclamation have redefined how we think about the threat of terrorism and political risks. As government policy change and terrorists adapt their methods to inflict mass casualties, existing insurance arrangements are being challenged to provide the broad cover that businesses need to fill gaps in cover.

Riots, strikes, civil commotion and malicious damage

Political violence including coup d’état, rebellion, war and civil war

Terrorism construction including delay in start up

Third party liability and employee liability

Loss of attraction and event cancellation

Forced abandonment of assets

Expropriation (host government theft) of mobile assets

Deprivation of assets (including export licence cancellation)

Comprehensive contractors’ plant insurance

Currency inconvertability or non-transfer

Political risk insurance for mobile assets covers the loss or damage to assets caused by political risk perils excluded from general insurance policies

A comprehensive contractors plant policy can cover single projects or multiple locations across one or more pre-agreed countries
