Underwriters and insurers are responding to heightened geopolitical risk by raising premiums and demanding stricter routing approvals for voyages near Venezuela and through key Caribbean sea lanes.

Higher costs & complexity: Carriers may face increased routing costs, slower transit times, and higher war-risk insurance premiums.
