Nineteen Azerbaijani crew members from vessels damaged in the Sea of Azov have been repatriated to Azerbaijan, suggesting a maritime incident in a JWC-listed war risk zone. The Sea of Azov is an active conflict area between Russia and Ukraine, and damage to commercial vessels there implies war risk hull and cargo exposure for London market underwriters.
