Impact verdict
Low impact. LOW: WHO describes situation as stable with no indication of vessel total loss, port closure, or large-scale quarantine. Hantavirus is not a pandemic-level pathogen and this appears to be a contained cluster aboard one vessel. Limited P&I and crew health exposure for marine underwriters but no market-moving action required at this stage.
