INSURANCE IN LIBYA

Libya has historically been an attractive country for western expats in the oil and gas, engineering and construction sectors and Bellwood Prestbury has extended cover for many companies and individuals operating in harsh environments and high risk occupations here.

Following the uprising in 2011 and the subsequent UN Security Council Resolution 1973, the country became a warzone. Although the fighting is now limited to specific areas, the Foreign Office official advice means that standard insurance policies are unlikely to be valid. Even if you suffer a road traffic accident or a heart attack with no relation to the troubles, you will not be able to claim on a standard policy.

Bellwood Prestbury is an expert in providing policies for situations like Libya; insurance cover that will be valid anywhere in the country. We can create bespoke policies that will cover you for life, health, travel and disability. We can provide protection for your equipment, cover your business liabilities, and cover additional costs should you be delayed in getting out of the country.

Journalists, security consultants, oil and gas, international construction or logistics, we can help to arrange the insurance you need.
