The Strait of Hormuz crisis is the most acute stress-test the global insurance market has faced in decades.Over 52,000 flights cancelled. Nearly 2,000 vessels stranded. War risk premiums up 20–40x in a matter of weeks.
This is not a regional footnote. It is a systemic event.
Our Insurance Practice has published its assessment of what is happening and what best-in-class insurers are doing about it right now , across five operational imperatives:
→ Operational resilience under extreme stress→ Customer experience in crisis→ Claims precision at scale→ Risk repricing and rerouting→ Reinsurance under structural pressure
If you are navigating the current situation on your resilience, claims operations, or reinsurance structure , we would welcome the conversation.
