Ship insurance is somewhat how modern capitalist world trade came into existence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company?wprov=sfla1

Bunch of people putting money together for ship to have a try going and returning with lots of goodies, is like an insurance I'm some way.

I think insurance isn't just possible, it's obligated to be allowed to enter certain ports with certain shipsizes.
