Any movement in the Strait of Hormuz via routes outside the framework established by the Persian Gulf Waterways Authority (PGSA) does not guarantee safe passage and is not covered by insurance or relevant liabilities.
“Elchi” reports, citing the “Fars” agency, that this information was released by the PGSA in response to numerous inquiries.
“Responsibility for the consequences of movement via unauthorized routes lies with the shipowner, operator, and commander,” the statement said.
It should be recalled that a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman was subjected to a projectile strike.
Despite U.S. demands, Iran and Oman want to manage the Strait of Hormuz.
According to information published in “The Wall Street Journal,” charging for the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz could earn Iran approximately 40 billion annually.
