Last week, two container ships were hit in Hormuz.

One sank.

All 43 crew members survived.

But what happens to the cargo?

A shipment can have all-risk insurance.

Yet that may not settle a claim.

For cargo owners, the difference can be costly.

So what would actually be covered?

Here are 5️⃣ signals behind it:


1️⃣ The danger is real

GFS Pride was struck on 13 October.

The 2,824 TEU ship later sank.

GFS Giselle was damaged the next day.

Singapore confirmed both incidents.

💡 Route risk matters before a booking is made.


2️⃣ All-risk has limits
