New passage requirements for Strait of Hormuz
Shipping companies have started receiving emails from an entity calling itself the 'Persian Gulf Strait Authority'. The messages require vessels to submit passage requests for the Strait of Hormuz via a specified email address. This practice has not been observed before and is raising concerns within the international maritime community. Experts view this move as an attempt by Iran to tighten its control over shipping in the strategically vital waterway. The new procedure could complicate the transit of oil tankers and other commercial vessels through the strait.
