That said vessels insurance is the invisible hand that controls traffic through the Strait
Pre war risk premiums typically account for 0.1% to 0.15% of vessel's value per voyage, meaning an Supertanker worth $200 million would typically have an insurance cost of up to $300.000, now has to pay as high as 7.5% or $15 million.
In addition to the vessel insurance you also have cargo insurance which has risen from about 0.03% to nearly 1%
All of this added cost consumers in the end pay. #USA #Iran
