War risk underwriters are advising shipping companies to pause voyages through the Strait of Hormuz amid renewed vessel attacks that could escalate tensions between Iran and the U.S. The insurance industry is also reviewing policy terms, signaling higher costs and reduced routing reliability. The development is likely to pressure shipping/logistics and can spill into energy pricing via potential supply disruption risk.
