Iran warns vessels violating Hormuz transit rules of fines, detention
TEHERAN: Iran has issued a warning that vessels violating its arrangements for transiting the Strait of Hormuz could face restrictions, including fines, detention, or confiscation, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority wrote in a post on X.
Iran has issued a stern warning to vessels that violate its regulations for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, which could result in restrictions such as fines, detention, or confiscation, according to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA). This announcement, made through a post on X, underscores the heightened risks for charterers and ship owners who rely on this crucial waterway for the transportation of energy shipments worldwide.
The PGSA, a newly established body in Iran designed to oversee the strait, has advised cargo owners to consult an updated list of vessels deemed non-compliant for maritime voyages. Notably, any vessel engaged in activities like ship-to-ship transfers or transshipment with non-compliant vessels will also be added to this restricted list.
Furthermore, ships seeking the removal of their names from the non-compliant vessels list must submit a request along with relevant explanations to Iran's maritime authorities, as detailed in the PGSA's statement.
