Special Risk Insurance: When Standard Policies Say No

Every insurer has limits on what it will cover. Aircraft, ocean cargo, energy projects, political instability, kidnap & ransom, unusual events — these risks exceed what standard local policies can absorb.

This is where specialist broking matters. Fred Black's partnerships with A-Rated London-based insurers and Lloyd's brokers give us access to the world's specialist insurance markets — the same markets that insure ships, satellites and stadiums.

The process starts with a detailed risk assessment. We then prepare a professional submission for underwriters, negotiate terms across multiple markets, and structure a program that covers the risk properly.

If you've been told your risk is uninsurable, that usually means it needs a specialist market — not that no cover exists. Talk to us before you give up.
