Impact verdict
Low impact. No explosion, no confirmed explosive device, and no physical damage to the vessel, port, or third-party property has been reported. Without a confirmed device, detonation, or structural damage, no hull damage, cargo loss, or port closure loss pathway is established. Casualty count is zero. The incident remains a security scare with negligible direct London market loss exposure at this stage; insured-industry severity is floored at low absent new evidence of physical damage or attacker attribution.
