Tianjin blast could warp market

摘要

Worries are rising among underwriters that the explosions last month at Tianjin's port in China may have caused damage so severe that the insurance market will be permanently changed. Access to the devastated areas of the port is still tightly controlled by the government, hampering the efforts of insurers to assess the cost of claims arising from the 12 August disaster, which killed at least 50 people and left more than 700 injured.
