# Does K&R Cover Hijacking?

Some K&R policies cover hijacking, with definitions that limit eligible conveyances, people, and events.

A vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or cargo seizure may be treated differently.

Check who must be aboard, how long the event must last, and the limits for ransom, response, or repatriation. Compare K&R with cargo or marine coverage if goods in transit are at risk.
