Oman says no plans to charge ships in Hormuz
Oman’s transport minister said the country would not impose fees on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after reports that Iran and Oman could charge vessels during a ceasefire period.
The minister said Oman had signed agreements that prohibit charging ships passing through the waterway.
Under the two-week ceasefire plan, both Iran and Oman could be allowed to charge fees on ships transiting the strait, according to a regional official, with Iran expected to use the funds for reconstruction, while the strait has historically been treated as an international waterway without transit fees.
