Exklusiv: Iran verlangt während des Waffenstillstands Kryptogebühren für Schiffe, die Hormuz passieren

Iran will demand that shipping companies pay tolls in cryptocurrency for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, told the FT on Wednesday that Iran wanted to collect tolling fees from any tanker passing and to assess each ship. Decisions on the conditions for passing the strait are taken by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

Hosseini’s remarks suggest Iran will require any tankers to use the northerly route close to its coastline, raising questions over whether western or Gulf state-linked vessels will be willing to risk transit.

Hosseini said that each tanker must email authorities about its cargo, after which Iran will inform them of the toll to be paid in digital currencies. He said that the tariff is $1 per barrel of oil, adding that empty tankers can pass freely.
