Iran proposes environmental service fees for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Environmental Protection Organization has submitted draft implementation rules to the government that would introduce environmental service fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran’s Fars News, as cited by BlockBeats on July 18. Under the proposal, fees would be determined by a mix of factors including vessel type, cargo characteristics, prior records, and the level of potential environmental risk. The payment process and enforcement mechanism have not yet been finalized and will be set later by the relevant authorities. Iranian officials said the proposal was framed under international legal standards including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS. They argued that when a vessel violates the principle of innocent passage, or poses a threat to a coastal state’s security, public health, or ecological environment, the coastal state may take lawful action and charge for public health and environmental protection services it provides. The head of Iran’s environmental agency also said maintaining shipping safety and sustainable passage through the Strait of Hormuz requires financial support.
