But would you even start a journey towards a port that requires insurance if you don't have it? You're not going to get the benefit of docking at that port (unloading the ship and getting paid for the cargo).

Who would pay a ship to take their cargo near a port if they knew ships need insurance to dock with that port and the ship didn’t have it?
