International Maritime Organization rules out restrictions on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz

The International Maritime Organization affirms that the interpretation of international law rules regarding navigation restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz does not permit any country to levy fees or tolls on passing ships. This comes in the context of statements by Secretary-General Arsénio Domingues, who emphasized that there is no legal basis for any restrictions or fees, following the United States' initial intention to impose a 20% duty on goods transiting through the strategic passage, which Washington later withdrew. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important global energy trade routes, and tensions between Iran and Western countries over sovereignty over the strait are intensifying, amid risks of increased confrontations and maritime conflicts in the region.
