Entering mid-March 2026, the world was once again shocked by the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, which triggered significant disruptions to global energy supply lines, particularly oil and natural gas from the Strait of Hormuz. This uncertainty has caused global oil prices to skyrocket, automatically pushing many industrialized countries to immediately seek a more stable alternative fuel, namely coal. This surge in global demand is both a golden momentum and a major challenge for the mining sector in Indonesia, where mining operations must be maximally accelerated to meet export quotas amidst soaring commodity prices. However, this high economic value also carries multiple financial risks, ranging from the threat of physical loss of cargo during shipping, which requires strong marine cargo insurance, to the risk of damage to heavy equipment fleets that work non-stop. As a professional insurance broker, L&G Insurance Broker is here not only to sell policies, but also as a strategic partner to help you conduct technical risk audits, obtain the best premium rates through negotiations with the global insurance market, and provide recommendations for coverage extensions such as a CPM (Construction Plant and Machinery) policy specifically to protect your heavy equipment. We understand that in times of crisis, asset security and premium efficiency are key to maintaining maximum business profitability. Therefore, for those of you optimizing mining production and wanting to ensure every dollar of your investment is protected from upstream to downstream, it’s wise to immediately consult with our team of experts about your risk mitigation strategy.

Why is L&G Insurance Broker a Vital Partner in the Mining Industry?
In the capital-intensive and high-risk mining ecosystem, the role of insurance brokers is often misunderstood as merely an intermediary. In fact, L&G Insurance Brokers act as customer advocates, working solely for the interests of the insured, not the insurance company. Amidst the surge in coal prices in 2026, your risk exposure increases dramatically; a single piece of heavy equipment caught fire or a barge sinking now represents a much greater loss of profit (opportunity cost).
L&G Insurance Broker is crucial because we have a deep understanding of the operational characteristics of mining operations in Indonesia—from the mountainous terrain of Berau to the swamps of Sumatra. We help you accurately map risks through site assessments, ensuring there are no gaps in your policy that could lead to claim denials. With the support of our digital claims management system, we ensure that when disaster strikes, you’re not fighting alone against insurance bureaucracy, but rather with a team of experts who will fight for your rights until compensation is disbursed.
The Urgency of Heavy Equipment Protection Through CPM Amid High Production Intensity
Rapidly rising commodity prices are forcing mining companies to push their heavy equipment fleets to their maximum operational limits. Excavators, off-highway trucks, and bulldozers now operate almost 24/7 without a break. This extremely high intensity increases the risk of premature wear, hydraulic system failure, and even engine fires due to overheating.
A Construction Plant and Machinery (CPM) policy is a protective barrier for your mining machinery. Unlike standard insurance, L&G Insurance Broker ensures your CPM policy includes relevant coverage extensions, such as emergency air freight for spare parts to minimize production downtime. We help you obtain the best premium rates by conducting risk audits on equipment maintenance schedules, enabling insurers to offer more competitive rates due to well-managed technical risks.
L&G’s Strategic Advantage: More Than Just Buying a Policy
Many entrepreneurs often make the mistake of purchasing insurance solely based on the lowest premium. However, when coal prices are soaring, the compensation stated in the policy must be continually audited to prevent the risk of underinsurance. L&G Insurance Broker provides added value through:
- Best Premium Rate Negotiation: We have access to national and international insurance networks (Reinsurance) to get the most competitive terms.
- Warranty Extension Recommendation: Ensure specific risks such as Loading & Unloading, Off-Road Clause, and Landslide are included in the coverage.
- Professional Claims Management: We assist with field verification, evidence collection, and negotiations with Loss Adjusters to ensure payments are in accordance with the actual loss value.
Amid global energy volatility, every second of your mine’s operational time counts. Don’t let a mechanical breakdown in heavy equipment or a shipping accident wipe out this year’s gold profits. To ensure every inch of your operations is protected by a seamless insurance structure, you need the assistance of a broker with extensive experience in the energy industry.

Recommended Structure of Mandatory Insurance for the Mining Industry in 2026
Based on the current energy crisis and scarcity of oil supplies, L&G recommends the following protection structure to maintain the sustainability of your mining business:
- Marine Cargo Insurance (All Risks): Covers your coal cargo from the port of loading to the port of discharge. Ensure coverage covers the risk of spontaneous combustion, which often occurs with low-calorie coal during extreme temperatures.
- CPM Insurance for Heavy Equipment: Protects your heavy equipment investment from the risk of sudden physical damage, including the risk of rolling over at the mine site and machine damage due to external factors.
- Property All Risk (PAR) Mining Facilities: Protects warehouses, workshops, and offices in mining areas from the risk of fire, explosions, and natural disasters that could stop distribution lines.
- Third Party Liability: Given the increasingly intensive nature of operations, the risk of claims from third parties or the surrounding community due to dust or operational accidents must be mitigated with legal liability insurance.
Secure Your Profitability from Geopolitical Turmoil
The conflict in the Middle East, which has driven a surge in global coal demand, is a major boost for the Indonesian economy. However, true success lies not only in how much you produce, but also in how securely you manage those assets. Damage to a heavy equipment fleet or the loss of cargo at sea amid high commodity prices is a double whammy: the loss of physical assets and the loss of profit opportunities (opportunity cost).
Entrust the protection of your strategic assets to L&G Insurance Broker. We are committed to providing maximum protection at the most cost-effective price, so you can focus on winning the global energy market while we safeguard the financial security of your assets from any unforeseen risks.
