Allianz Report: Shipping Industry Faces New Era of Geopolitical Risk
Allianz Commercial warns that the global shipping industry is entering a new era defined by geopolitical tension and structural uncertainty. According to its Safety and Shipping Review 2026, disruptions since Covid-19 are no longer temporary shocks but permanent transformations. The insurer recorded 43 total vessel losses in 2025 and 2,818 shipping incidents, yet emphasizes that safety statistics mask deeper risks from maritime chokepoints, trade fragmentation, and volatile fuel prices reshaping global supply chains.
