Rising geopolitical tensions in Iran and the wider region since late February have had far-reaching consequences, not only for the people directly affected, but also for global trade and supply chains. Disruptions impacting key commodities such as oil, gas, and fertilisers, many of which transit through the Strait of Hormuz, are creating increased uncertainty across international markets.
For marine insurers, these developments raise complex and often unclear questions around cargo and hull & machinery coverage. How do evolving war risks affect policy response? Where are the gaps and what should market participants be watching closely?
In these two webinars, marine insurance professionals and legal experts will discuss the implications of the current situation for cargo and H&M policies. The sessions will provide practical insights into war risk exposure and address the key challenges and questions facing the market today.
