Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway is a localised hull loss of a single small fishing trawler in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a thin-penetration insurance market with limited international re/insurance participation; no insured loss figure has been reported and small fishing vessel values are well below any meaningful industry threshold. No third-party property, cargo, or environmental damage has been reported. There is no credible route to USD 100m insured market loss on current evidence.
