Oman Says Ships in Strait of Hormuz May Face New Navigation and Environmental Fees

Oman has told European allies that ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz could face new navigation or environmental service fees, @unusual_whales reported. Oman told European officials there is no way of going back to the pre-war status quo with the Strait of Hormuz.

Transiting ships may have to be charged fees for services related to de-polluting the strait or helping ships navigate it, according to people familiar with the matter.

The notifications were conveyed directly to European officials in recent discussions.
