Impact verdict

Low impact. Evidence continues to support a low-severity London Market view. A single-vessel gastrointestinal outbreak with routine public-health and passenger-assistance characteristics does not constitute a marine casualty. With no hull damage, no confirmed voyage interruption, no port diversion, and no disclosed loss estimate, exposure remains concentrated in ordinary passenger and crew illness-related liability and medical-assistance pathways rather than broader market-moving marine, property, or contingency loss development.
