Libya Insurance

With the precarious security situation in Libya, insurance for anyone working or travelling here is vital. Standard policies will not be valid. If you need to visit, you should take out specialist Libya insurance that will provide the cover you need and will remain valid despite the higher potential risks.

Insurance in Libya

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

The political and military instability following the fall of Colonel Gadhafi in 2011 led to many foreign companies abandoning business here, but in recent years more and more companies and contractors have returned, mainly to the energy sector.

Working directly with Lloyd’s of London, we can provide cover for people working in Libya, including NGOs, journalists and specialist advisors.

There is a high risk of military and terrorist attack and kidnapping. Foreign nationals, particularly westerners, are a favoured target. In the light of the high-risk to personal security, standard insurance policies will not be valid. Even if you suffer a road traffic accident or a heart attack with no relation to terrorism, you will not be able to call on a standard policy.

We can create bespoke policies that will cover your people 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.
