Risk Update
Merchant traffic is still transiting, but risk posture remains elevated. No confirmed change from publicly accessible UKMTO/JMIC bulletins obtained in this run.
War-risk remains a firm budget line. Confirm whether your project cargo valuation triggers special cargo war terms with underwriters.
Open, but blockade enforcement remains active for traffic inbound/outbound Iranian ports. Non-compliance can trigger kinetic action. Coverage applies across the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, and North Arabian Sea for Iran-linked traffic (JMIC Advisory Note 006-26).
If your voyage plan involves Iranian ports — or ambiguous cargo ownership — conduct enhanced sanctions and operational screening. Ensure masters are fully briefed on hailing protocol and immediate compliance procedures.
Insurance: Expect underwriters to be highly sensitive to Iranian nexus. Increased likelihood of additional war-risk premiums, warranty requirements, and strict routing/communications conditions.
Currently operating. No confirmed change available from ACP advisory page in this run. If Panama is part of your project move’s critical path, obtain same-day confirmation from agent or liner portal on booking slots, any draft limits, and temporary transit caps.
Ensure contingency routing (US Gulf alt discharge or rail) is identified if the Canal creates schedule risk.
