Iranian strait authority issues updated list of sanctioned vessels
Listed vessels will face restrictions on future passage, including fines, detention or confiscation, while vessels cooperating with them will be added to the list.
The Persian Gulf Strait Authority, established by Iran to oversee passage requests in the Strait of Hormuz, released an updated list of 77 vessels in violation of Iranian protocols on Monday. The authority warned that these vessels face restrictions such as fines, detention, or confiscation for future passage. Cooperation with the authority results in the vessel being added to the list.
Insurance companies, P&I clubs, and classification societies are advised to avoid providing services to these vessels to prevent potential consequences. P&I clubs are mutual insurance associations that offer coverage for third-party maritime liabilities. The latest vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz, as per preliminary ship-tracking data, fell to single-digit numbers per day over the weekend, significantly below the 10-day average of 14.
These figures do not include vessels operating with their Automatic Identification System transponders turned off to evade detection.
