We write a diverse Sabotage and Terrorism account with a mix of global industrial accounts and country-specific commercial risks. The portfolio encompasses business written in more than 150 countries, with a focus on UK, US, Africa, and Asia. We take a proactive approach to monitoring our market, with the use of external consultants to identify risk exposures. We have the flexibility to respond to short-term situations that occur following a flash-point situation, as well as more generally recognised domestic threats. Industries covered include:

  • Commercial
  • Construction
  • Energy
  • Industrial
  • Leisure (including residential)
  • Manufacturing
  • Mining
  • Retail
  • Transportation
  • Utilities

In addition we offer a wide range of additional coverages including Terrorism Liability, Active Assailant, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical cover as well as bespoke products for individual insureds.

We write a worldwide book of Kidnap and Ransom insurance, offering limits in line with clients’ requirements and supporting market wordings, as well as providing bespoke wordings as required. Coverage includes the expenses of expert crisis consultants, salary benefits, rest and rehabilitation and business interruption. We also provide 24/7 and 365 days a year expert response and claims handling capabilities.
We cover corporate insured and individual or family policies against a range of perils including:
  • Death and dismemberment
  • Hijack
  • Kidnap
  • Political evacuations and repatriation
  • Property or personal extortion
  • Wrongful detention

We also offer wrongful detention, political evacuation and kidnap expense to complement travel insurance policies.

These high-profile attacks can happen anywhere and traditional insurance products fall short on coverage for specific active-assailant events. The Canopius Assailant Programme provides various cover to enable businesses and public service providers with the immediate means to recover from a malicious violence event. You don’t need to be a target to be a victim.
