Could Iran impose tariffs on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz?

Iran is seeking to impose tariffs on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as part of its proposals to end the war.

No such unilateral action to demand fees to cross a strait has been taken in modern history, shipping industry officials said, Reuters writes.

The UNCLOS maritime convention that governs international maritime law states that states bordering straits cannot demand payment simply for permission to pass through them.

However, they may impose limited fees on ships for specific services, such as pilotage, towing or port services, although these may not be charged more to ships from any particular country./ CNA
