Iran Adds Ships to Hormuz Blacklist
The expanded list now covers 56 vessels, and ships that violate the rules face fines, confiscation or detention, the PGSA said.
- On Wednesday, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority added 11 ships to its blacklist, bringing the total number of restricted vessels to 56 in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Tehran previously blacklisted 45 tankers on August 24 for breaking navigation rules, escalating threats six months into a war that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
- The PGSA warned that "any vessel cooperating with listed vessels will be added to the list," requiring formal removal applications with justifications.
- Ships owned by United Arab Emirates' ADNOC Logistics and Shipping, Navig8 Tankers, and Saudi Arabia's Bahri were previously targeted, prompting Indian oil refiners and global majors to halt vessel usage.
- Before the war, the Strait handled about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, while U.S. Treasury sanctions imposed on the PGSA in May complicate industry engagement.
