It’s no surprise that even companies providing humanitarian medical supply shipments are having trouble securing insurance to transport their goods, given the number of escalating global conflicts blocking key passageways.
Yet Scott Ansell managed to find a way for a major pharmaceutical company.
“Scott was instrumental in helping us secure war risk and strikes, riots, civil commotion insurance coverage for humanitarian medical shipments into Russia and the Ukraine,” said the company’s director of global insurance.
“Most of our underwriters wanted to exclude coverage because of what was going on in these regions, and Scott was able to present the case study why [our] shipments were safe and secure,” the director added.
And when Hamas attacked Israel in the fall of 2023, Ansell came through once more for the director’s team: “He’s really stepped up to the plate in areas that are going through very difficult times … We were still able to get our products into these countries where they are
needed.”
“His approach is really to start off by listening to the needs of our business,” not to take an “insurance-first” position, said one director of insurance. “He explores other resources within Marsh to deliver the needs of our company … Even though he’s a placement broker
for insurance, that doesn’t necessarily mean that is the only tool in his toolbox.”
