In addition, port authorities can refuse entry or detain a ship.

Another leading ship classifier, Hamburg-headquartered DNV GL Maritime, said it had suspended services for three of those vessels in June. Insurers are also in a bind.

The group represents companies that insure about 90% of the world’s commercial shipping.
