Actual big win for Lloyd’s.

I bet Iran will only honor ship insurance sold by Iran.

That’s what Lloyd’s, etc will offer.

There are already countless fees, payments, tariffs, etc that must be paid on a voyage, that’s what Lloyd’s does, their business isn’t undertaking itself, they package insurances, fees, etc together so a ship only need pay the one company and they take care of the rest. For a fee.

They’ll pay Iran and slap another 30% on.

It’s time to rename it to Schrödinger’s Strait. Is it open? Is it closed? Nobody can tell until a ship tries to sail through and is either sunk or not sunk.

Ships are publicly traceable. I feel like every article should be contextualised with the following graph.

Spoiler: it’s closed and has always been closed since March.
