Will Trump’s shipping insurance plan work?
Maximilian Hess, a political risk consultant who advises on war insurance and maritime risk, and Rachel Siemba, a security-focused economist at CNAS, unpack why over a thousand ships are stuck near the Strait of Hormuz. They explore surging war-insurance premiums, how reinsurance proposals aim to lower costs, coverage gaps like crew and environmental risks, and the practical limits of using a DFC backstop.
