Well they shouldn't have listened to Trump saying the street is open, but rather listen to those that closed it

There is nothing insurance companies fear more than mines. Pirates can be fought. Kidnappers can be negotiated with. Not so mines. They sit there unseen for years then randomly destroy a ship without warning or mercy. No matter how many assurances are made, it will be years before that strait returns to normal pre-trump operations.
