Terrorism & Political Violence Risks

Atkins Special Risks is a lead broker worldwide for covering assets within hostile environments, whether they be static or in transit. Any country can be covered including Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria – anywhere.

As leaders in this field we have developed the widest coverage, most “stand alone” terrorism policies are unsuitable for assets in emerging markets. Typical defects include the war exclusion and the requirement for there to be physical damage, we arrange coverage against;

  • Riots, strikes, civil commotion and malicious damage
  • Sabotage and terrorism
  • Insurrection, revolution, rebellion and coup d’état
  • War and civil war
  • Looting and pillaging resulting from any of the above

It also indemnifies for business interruption caused by the above perils.

In the field of hostile environment insurance, Atkins Special Risks prides itself in securing the very best terms and its expansion in Afghanistan is ample proof thereof. The company has extensive involvement in insuring fuel in transit, construction risk, property, mining and insurance of assets in Afghanistan. This insurance includes cover against the risks of loss and/or damage arising from acts of terrorism, political violence and war on land.

Graham Atkins has been to Afghanistan in person giving him first-hand experience and making us second to none in this theatre.
