Your assumption is that the insurance industry has not yet considered
the issue. Given that companies like SpaceX work closely with insurers
and they plan to send cargo to ISS, what makes you think they don't
have insurance deals lined up already?


Quite simply, because there hasn't been any public noice about it yet.
There *has* been public noise about the difficulties alt.space companies
are having getting insurance for launch and for ground testing, and I
assume that insurance for docking will be no less difficult.
