It's not even just the price of a ship and cargo at risk. Lead times are around 2.8 to 3 yrs for crude tankers and around 3.5 yrs for LNG carriers. That's a long time to not be able to conduct business even if insurance did pay out. It is 100% rational to sit out a few weeks to figure out how to resume operations safely rather than trying to sneak through and hope for the best.

Yeah, especially since they have promised its only going to be 3 weeks. It's almost as if that was a lie.

Every war ever fought was going to be over in a couple of weeks with an overwhelming victory.
