A group of several vessels, namely French, Japanese, and Oman-linked ships were reported to have crossed the strait at the end of this week. This included Malta-flagged 'Kribi,' owned by French shipping group CMA CGM, having exited the Gulf through an Iranian-approved corridor, broadcasting "owner France" - as we reported earlier.
Interestingly, its route was identified by the shipping sourcel Lloyd's List as the "Tehran Tollbooth" - which references an emerging system imposed by Tehran that requires vessels to undergo vetting, disclose ownership and cargo details, as well as obtaining approval before transiting designated corridors.
Three additional tankers, including the LNG carrier 'Sohar LNG,' co-owned by Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, also completed the crossing, reportedly by hugging the Omani coastline.
Mitsui confirmed the transit, stating the vessel is "the first Japan-linked vessel and the first LNG carrier" to exit the Gulf since the US-led war began.
As for more details on this emerging Tehran-erected toll booth: "Following a 90% plunge in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by CNBC, Iran has established a highly controlled shipping corridor near Larak Island. The IRGC is now charging tolls starting at $1 per barrel of oil, payable in Chinese Yuan or stablecoins," describes one source. This could amount to up to $2 million for each ship seeking passage.
As for the vetting process, Russian media - citing Al Jazeera - says there will be three categories:
Iranian authorities have developed a system for managing shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring passage for vessels from different countries depending on the level of their relations with Tehran, Qatar's Al Jazeera reported.
According to the TV channel, under Iran's scheme, all states are divided into three categories: "hostile," "neutral," and "friendly." Countries in the first group will be prohibited from using the Strait of Hormuz, ships from "neutral" states will be subject to high fees, and "friendly" states will be granted the right of free passage through the strait.
