War Risks and Piracy

JLT are one of the leading brokers in the class of War and Strikes Coverage and place some of the biggest and most complex war programmes in the world. A number of these programmes are unique to JLT.

We have become the leading insurance advisers to the industry on combating the piracy crisis and have developed key relationships with the Navy/Atalanta/CTF, USCG, maritime liaison officers, government representatives and shipping industry bodies to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience to reduce the impact of this overt criminal activity.

Our experience and expertise has enabled us to develop bespoke kidnap and ransom products for owners, managers and charterers which are unique in the insurance industry. Our piracy team collates up-to-date information from industry military and security sources and then works with insurers to provide the best solution for either vessel specific transits or global coverage.

We have handled more piracy incidents than any other broker and have become the leading insurance advisors to BIMCO, the Navy and various shipping associations on combating this crisis and protecting the related exposures from this peril.

Our proactive approach to this phenomenon and liaison with all parties at the highest level, who are concerned with this activity, gives us a unique understanding of the risk and its potential implications to Owners. This combined with the fact that we are one of the leading brokers in the world for war and strikes coverage enables us to offer a highly specialised service in this class of coverage.

Piracy - stress test your insurance policy

To ensure that the appropriate cover and response is in place, JLT have put together a comprehensive stress test process that reviews both your overall state of preparedness and your current insurance arrangements in the event of a piracy incident and for a limited period this stress test is available free of charge.
