Iran to waive Hormuz fees during 60-day ceasefire, but says ships must submit request for passage
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Strait of Hormuz body says it would waive planned fees for those using the Strait during a 60-day negotiation period under the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States this week.
Ships seeking passage through the Strait while the interim agreement is in force must submit transit requests at least 48 hours before arrival, Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) says in a notice.
Iran will waive fees for security, safety, environmental services and related insurance during the period, while requiring vessels to coordinate routes and transit times in advance due to areas affected by mines and to ensure safe navigation.
