Golden Finance reports that on June 26, according to people familiar with the matter, Oman has informed European officials that the Strait of Hormuz cannot return to its pre-war state, and that transit vessels may have to pay certain fees. The sources said that an Oman official stated that it would always comply with international maritime law, but also added that services possibly related to strait pollution cleanup or vessel navigation could incur costs. It is not yet clear whether Oman indicated that all these fees are mandatory. The sources said that Oman is analyzing the fee systems used for major choke points around the world, including Asia’s Strait of Malacca—there are currently no mandatory shipping charges in that region. Meanwhile, the United States, Europe, and neighboring Gulf countries around Oman are increasingly concerned that Oman may, together with Iran, set up a fee system for the Strait of Hormuz.
