Iran Announces 60-Day Transit Mechanism for Ships Through Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Gulf Waterway Administration has announced the application procedure and conditions for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, following an agreement reached with the United States.
Iran's Gulf Waterway Administration has established a 60-day mechanism and conditions for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, following an agreement reached with the United States.
Application Process
The administration stated in its announcement that all parties wishing to transit the strait during this period will receive passage permits. It was emphasized that applications must be made only through official channels: the psga.ir website and the info@psga.ir email address.
Accurate, complete, and verifiable information about the ships requesting transit must be submitted.
Timing and Fee Policy
Transit applications containing all requested data must be submitted at least 48 hours before the ship reaches the strait area. This measure was stated to prevent delays at the strait's entry and exit points.
During the 60-day period following the memorandum signed between Iran and the US, no fees will be charged to ship owners for security, safety, and environmental services. The Iranian government will fully cover the costs of these services.
Security Coordination and Liability
The administration underscored that, due to potential security risks along the route, each ship must coordinate in advance regarding its planned route and transit time to ensure safe passage and prevent maritime accidents.
The announcement also confirmed that any damage or issues arising from non-compliance with these instructions would be the sole responsibility of the ship owners.
Background
Iran had established the Gulf Waterway Administration to regulate maritime traffic in the strait and oversee plans for fees from transiting ships, following the US-Israel war.
US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart signed the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" electronically last Wednesday evening, paving the way to end the war initiated by Washington and Tel Aviv on February 28th. The Pakistani mediator officially declared the memorandum in effect, announcing that the US would begin lifting its naval blockade on Tehran, imposed since April, in return for Iran beginning to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to navigation.
