NOTE: Despite the announcement, no public application portal for the insurance program has yet been opened, leaving tanker operators waiting for operational guidance.

US President Donald Trump announced plans to reopen the strait in early March, framing it as a step to safeguard global trade. The DFC, which initially partnered with Swiss-American insurer Chubb, promised further instructions for ships seeking coverage in the coming days.
