      Lmfao 12 tankers a day.  Im willing to bet there are 12 ships a day that have buyers lined up to pay….moreso as this drags on.

      Those who pay the toll would be funding terrorism, mass murder, torture, rape and war crimes.

      “The tankers” don’t gaf if the owner of the cargo is willing to pay and wants it out.

      So let’s say they don’t pay the toll. Is Iran going to bomb that tanker? Couldn’t that be an act of war in itself?

      Some business guy is saying paying the toll isn’t the way to go. Does business guy have a military he can use to secure the strait? No.

      Business guy clearly doesn’t understand Iran has the strait under its control with as little as one $50k Shahed drone, and until that is addressed, not paying only means future ship explosions.

      Evidently dude doesn’t understand the hornet’s nest the US has unleashed.

      That can create precedence for south of china sea, taiwan strait

      In other news: Iran urged to ignore the assassination of their leaders, the slaughter of their children, and play nice like everyone else.

      Is the person saying that Bibi who would like to keep the war going because he’s a psychopath?

      Yeah nah. Probably costs a Pretty Penny per day to keep those tankers hauling product to where you need them to go to get paid. 2 million for safe passage and getting paid or keep shelling out daily as they sit dead in the water. Tough call.

      * A tanker waiting at sea is more costly than the toll
      * With reduced insurance cover providers, a loss of one tanker – minimum $120 mil loss(ship cost) + oil load + crew recovery & rehabilitation + revenue loss from no ship until a replacement is built + insurance hike for the ship’s operator across their fleet due to risk assessment.

      Good luck urging ships to take the risk and loss upon themselves by not paying toll.

      No pay = no access, simple as that. The fee is actually extremely low $2mil per ship. Surprised Iran even put it that low.

      Oil prices right now are hovering around $98, one large tanker can carry up to 2 million barrels of oil on the ship. The Iranian fee amounts to about a $1 per barrel which is basically 1% fee on each barrel of oil.

      Pretty sure every cargo owner would be more than happy to pay that price for safe passage. People need to realise that this illegal war started by USA and Israel has basically destroyed the freedom of navigation in Hormoz. Iran holds all the cards as we’ve seen during the last 6 weeks of the war.

      I’m assuming the people who are urging the tankers not to pay Iran are safe and sound on dry land thousands of kilometters away

    20. turb0_encapsulator on

      $1 per barrel is nothing to make sure you don’t get blown up. Everyone but the US is just going to pay it.

    23. Daysaved on

      Yeah no one is going through that thing for a while. Iran came out today and said they have no clue where all the mines they put out there are.

    24. Unique-Staff-2644 on

      Paying that toll currently is also funding a terrorist organization. I wonder how that might play out internationally for that company.

    25. The_Island_Idiot on

      If you don’t want to pay a toll fee , don’t do business in the Strait of Hormuz

      „Please die for me, 
      Praise be to God!
      Thank you for your attention on this important matter“ 

    27. SP1570 on

      Options:
      – wait for peaceful resolution: extra costs, loss of revenues, growing issues with crew morale and health
      – cross without paying: chances of BOOM!
      – pay the toll: c.1% extra cost and life goes on

      I hope someone will sue the US and Israel for compensation.

      The US should pay a toll to the rest of the world for starting a war completely unprovoked and driving up the price of oil for everyone else.
      This is another tariff.
      Meawhile trump made out like a bandit buying oil futures as he bombed them.

      Yep let Iran charge the 1 dollar pr barrel. When the world complains, just explain it is to cover the damage the US/Trump caused to their country. And that is what they get for letting someone that insane just do what he wants. Blame trump.

      Want it to go away? Lets negotiate a proper security deal, so the next madman cant just go do the same again.

      I dont support terrorists, or Iran in general, but this is entirely on Trump. I think, in this limited case, Iran has the right to charge for passage.
