Iran to waive Strait of Hormuz fees during 60-day negotiations

Iran has announced that it will temporarily waive fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during a 60-day negotiation period under an interim agreement with the United States. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) stated that vessels must submit transit requests 48 hours in advance and coordinate their routes to avoid mine-affected areas. Fees for security, safety, environmental services, and related insurance will be waived during this time.

Iran 's Strait of Hormuz authority said on Friday it would waive planned fees to use the waterway during the 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, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) said in a notice.

Iran will waive fees for security, safety, environmental services and related insurance during the 60-day window, while requiring vessels to coordinate routes and transit times in advance to avoid mine-affected areas, according to PGSA.

Iran previously said it  would continue to exercise control over the strait in partnership with  Oman  and intended to charge ships service fees that did not exist before the war, though  not during the 60-day talks.
