Marine war risk insurance premiums may decline further if the emerging US-Iran agreement contributes to lasting stability in the Middle East, according to industry experts. Reduced geopolitical tensions could lower the perceived threat to commercial shipping routes, particularly in strategically important waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz.
War risk premiums had increased amid concerns over regional conflicts, vessel attacks, and disruptions to global trade. However, improving diplomatic relations and a reduction in security threats could help insurers reassess risk levels and ease premium rates for shipowners and cargo operators.
Despite the positive outlook, experts caution that geopolitical risks remain fluid and insurers will continue monitoring developments closely. The shipping industry is expected to maintain robust risk management measures as regional stability remains a key factor influencing marine insurance costs and global trade operations.
