High risk areas

Cargo insurance in high risk areas

Our cargo insurance, including war and strikes cover, is in most cases automatically in force worldwide. Usually there is no obligation to declare transports and no additional premium is charged. 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 is decided case-by-case.

The high-risk categories are: Very high (3.2 – 4.3); Severe (4.4 – 6.4) and Extreme (6.6 – 10.0). 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.
