The Iranian Persian Gulf Strait Authority, created by Tehran to manage passage requests in the Strait of Hormuz, published an updated list of 77 vessels that "violated Iranian protocols for the Strait of Hormuz."
Concerns about global energy supply have deepened following recent attacks near oil transit routes in the maritime lanes of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, while prospects for peace in the Middle East seem more discouraging than ever.
Vessels included in the list will face restrictions on their future passage, such as fines, detention, or confiscation, the body stated, adding that vessels collaborating with them will also be added to the list.
"Insurance companies, P&I clubs, and classification societies are warned to refrain from providing services to these vessels to avoid the consequences of operating with them," the authority posted on X.
P&I clubs are mutual insurance associations that provide shipowners and charterers with coverage for third-party maritime liabilities.
Transit of raw material cargo vessels through the Strait of Hormuz fell to single-digit figures per day over the weekend, preliminary maritime tracking data showed on Monday, well below the average of 14 vessels recorded in the last 10 days.
The figures exclude vessels that may have crossed the strait with their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders turned off to avoid detection.
