New Insurance Service Launched: Iran has officially launched a Bitcoin-backed insurance service named Hormuz Safe, primarily targeting Iranian shipping companies and cargo owners, with an expected annual revenue generation of $10 billion, marking a significant innovation in maritime insurance.
Coverage Scope: Hormuz Safe takes effect during the transportation of goods, providing coverage as soon as the cargo owner begins their journey, and while the platform is not fully operational yet, it has started limited operations, with plans to expand into maritime insurance and encrypted ship control systems.
New Authority Established: The Iranian National Security Council has unveiled the Persian Gulf Strait Authority to oversee Hormuz Safe insurance and provide real-time updates on regional operations, with the service initially available only to Iranian companies and cargo owners.
Surge in Insurance Costs: As military operations escalate in the region, shipping insurance costs have skyrocketed, leading some insurers to halt services in the Persian Gulf, yet many shipping companies remain hesitant to transit the Strait of Hormuz due to fears of new attacks and vessel seizures.
