About this indicator

Additional war-risk premium charged for transiting the Gulf, as % of hull value. No public price series exists (quotes are bilateral), so the level is estimated from the Lloyd's Joint War Committee listed-areas status and war-risk coverage tempo, calibrated to press-reported quotes. Underwriters price danger before headlines do. Recalibrated Aug 2026 to the post-escalation market (quotes of 3–10%).
