The Re-Priced Corridor

Sovereign transit authority, the $40 billion backstop no one is using, and what the Hormuz reopening actually costs.

The Re-Priced Corridor cover
PMR-2026-0601-MEAST-002

The Strait of Hormuz is reopening this week under a structurally new operating system. Iran has stood up a sovereign transit authority that licenses and tolls passage; the United States has stood up a forty-billion-dollar political-risk reinsurance facility behind a naval-advisory regime that is escorting almost no one; and the London war-risk market has held its pen open at war pricing. The diplomatic track that would unwind these mechanisms is unsigned and contested. What that means for shipping operators, marine insurers, P&I clubs, and energy traders is the binding question this brief answers.
