Iran has collected its first transit fee from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, marking the beginning of a new toll system. The announcement was confirmed by Hamidreza Haji Babayi, deputy speaker of Iran’s parliament, who said the first installment of the collected toll has already been deposited into the Central Bank of Iran’s account. Another parliament member, Alireza Salimi, also confirmed the toll collection based on reliable sources.
According to the report, the toll amount is determined by factors such as the type of vessel, cargo volume, and level of risk. Iran’s parliament had planned this ‘security tax’ to help cover the costs of ensuring safety in the strategic waterway. The measure comes as ship movements through the Strait have been disrupted since February 28 due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Iran has recently tightened control over commercial vessels transiting the area, allowing passage only under specific conditions.
With this step, Iran has formally begun a regular toll collection process for ships using the Strait of Hormuz.
