Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway: marine hull on a single small fishing charter vessel, with potential small-vessel passenger liability. Evidence: six fatalities and approximately ten persons aboard indicate small-craft scale; no vessel identification, tonnage, cargo, or insured value has been disclosed, and no market loss figures are reported. Limit: absent evidence of a sizeable commercial hull, cargo, or liability loss, expected insured market loss remains below the USD 100m threshold; current reporting does not credibly route to material London Market exposure.
