War-Risk Premium Estimator
Extra war-risk insurance is charged as a percentage of hull value to transit a listed war-risk area. Size that premium for a voyage — the rate for each area is anchored to reported market levels and adjusted for current incident activity.
An estimate, not an insurance quote. Actual war-risk rates are set per-fixture by underwriters and are not public. Each area's base rate is anchored to reported market levels and scaled by the recent incident activity shown below — a transparent model, not a firm price. Confirm any figure with your broker.
