The Maritime Administration (MARAD) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 20.803: Maritime War Risk Insurance) to the American Bureau of Shipping on June 12, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of June 15, 2027. This operational research and technical assessment project will deliver a comprehensive blueprint for modernizing the current War Risk Insurance (WRI) program by transitioning it from a standby peacetime framework into a permanent, self-sustaining public-private underwriting entity known as the U.S. War Risk Corporation (US WRC). The project will embed a cadre of domestic underwriters within a permanent structure to ensure national economic security and defense logistics independent of foreign insurance markets. The awardee will produce three primary deliverables: an empirical underwriting baseline developed through analysis of discrete underwriting data and market metrics from domestic commercial maritime leaders such as the American Club and Arthur J. Gallagher; a multi-layered financial risk architecture modeled on the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, incorporating structural appropriations, peacetime premiums, reinsurance retrocession agreements, and a standing Treasury stop-loss credit line; and unified government handoff protocols standardizing transition terms across standard maritime forms (VISA, VTA, MSC TANKVOY, and MSC TANKTIME) with objective triggers to authorize rapid handoff to state-backed coverage during market disruptions or premium spikes.Summary
