WAR ZONE RISKS
STRIKES & LABOUR ACTION
PIRACY & TERRORISM
POLITICAL UPHEAVAL
This specialist form of cargo insurance protects your goods against losses resulting from war, civil unrest, terrorism, labour strikes, riots, piracy, confiscation and political interference.
Standard cargo policies exclude these risks - meaning businesses operating in unstable or sensitive regions require dedicated cover to protect their supply chains.
It is essential for freight forwarders, international traders, NGOs, defence contractors and manufacturers exporting to volatile or sanctioned markets.
Protection against conflict, disruption, government action and politically motivated loss.
“Our supply chain runs through unstable regions. Insure24 secured specialist cover that gave us total confidence to continue trading.”
