Incorporating the Business of Risk
 
How Safe is your Business ?

In this feature we felt it prudent to highlight the products mainly offered in the international market along with a brief summary to shed light for prospective risk managers seeking to purchase this cover:

Sabotage & Terrorism Cover Only (T3 or LMA3030):
This coverage provides insured’s with pro-tection against losses sustained by an act of Sabotage & Terrorism only.

LPO437:
This coverage is the most commonly pur-chased form of Political Violence insurance in the Gulf. It provides protection against not only Sabotage and Terrorism, but Strikes, Riots, Civil Commotion, and Malicious Damage, perils commonly seen in certain areas of the Gulf such as the UAE. This product is recommended where the threat of War is minimal.

AFB Full Political Violence Cover:
This type of coverage is most commonly purchased in war zones such as Lebanon, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and parts of Africa. In the addition to the LPO 437 perils, protection is provided against Insurrection, Revolution, Rebellion, Mutiny, Coup D’Etat, and War and /or Civil War.

Other Covers available:

Terrorism Liability (T3L):
This cover is essential for members of the tourism and services sector. It indemnifies the insured, if held liable, against injury or loss of life of employees and/or the general public sustained as a result of a terrorist act.

Business Interruption Cover:
Reimburses the insured for any loss of profit sustained as a result of a terrorist attack.

Trade Disruption Cover:
This cover is purchased by business concerns looking to protect their business from financial loss arising from an unforeseen Political or Terrorist event preventing the organization from going about its daily business.


The purchasing process of Terrorism cover is relatively straightforward. Risk managers are required to complete a Political Violence proposal form which will include the parti-culars of the business, a list of losses or threats in the past 5 years security arrangements and details of surrounding buildings and operations. In the proposal insureds also have the option of selecting a loss limit. For example, if one’s business is valued at 10,000,000 USD it is not necessary for cover to be taken out for the full value and insureds may opt for a first loss limit of their choice.
