| 摘要： | At the recent Inland Marine Expo (IMX) conference, we discussed changing weather conditions with a number of ports at our stand. From flooding to hurricanes, extreme weather is now a constant risk factor for many U.S. inland and coastal ports. Insured losses from natural catastrophes continue to be above the 10-year average of $81 billion, at $115 billion. Hurricane Ian, which struck Florida in September, was last year's costliest natural catastrophe event, with an estimated insured loss of $50-$65 billion. The Port of Houston has further been identified in an Oxford University study as the most at risk in the world from extreme weather. But given that there are 29 ports in Texas alone, you start to see the size of the problem with people, infrastructure and operations all potentially affected. |
