High risk areas

Cargo insurance in high risk areas

If P&C Insurances's Marine cargo insurance as well as war and strikes insurance is in most cases automatically in force world wide. There is no obligation to declare, nor is any additional premium charged for these transports.

However, in certain high risk areas the insurance cover is in force only when agreed upon in advance with If P&C Insurance. Possible additional premium for insurance cover in these areas is decided on a case by case basis.

Changes to risk scores methodology

Please note that the former band Severe (3.2 – 10.0) has now been broken down into three new categories: Very high (3.2 – 4.3); Severe (4.4 – 6.4) and Extreme (6.6 – 10.0). This change took place in 5th October 2015.

These high risk areas are listed below.

The list is based on the recommendations of the intelligence company Exclusive Analysis in London. See the whole Watchlist.
