TREE NEWS update: Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority said it has updated its list of “non-compliant vessels” in the Strait of Hormuz to 77. Vessels on the list will face restricted passage in the future and could be fined, detained or confiscated, the authority said. It also advised cargo owners shipping to and from the Persian Gulf to check the list before chartering vessels to avoid potential problems.
Iran Expands Strait of Hormuz Non-Compliant Vessel List to 77
The mechanism matters more than the number: a published compliance list turns transit through Hormuz into a screening exercise, with charterers now expected to vet vessels before fixing. That shifts risk assessment upstream to cargo owners and insurers rather than sitting solely with shipowners, and it gives Tehran a graduated tool short of outright closure. Whether the list is enforced uniformly, and whether it expands further, is the open question for anyone pricing Gulf voyages.
