Ship Insurers Restrict War Coverage for Saudi Cargoes as Red Sea Premiums Top 1%

Ship insurers are restricting war coverage for Saudi Arabian cargoes in the Red Sea, the Financial Times reported, after war-risk premiums for some southern Red Sea voyages rose to more than 1% of a ship's value from about 0.3% last week, according to Reuters.

Torm said its Danish-flagged oil products tanker Torm Innovation will sail to Asia via the Suez Canal because of the security situation in the southern Red Sea. The moves follow Houthi claims that they attacked two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, while Saudi Arabia said Saudi-owned vessel Encelia was hit and caught fire but all crew were safe.
