Iran has set a new set of rules for ships seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Titled the “Vessel Information Declaration,” the document is an application form issued by Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) that must be completed by all transiting vessels to ensure their safe passage.
The form includes more than 40 questions, requiring each vessel to declare its name, identification number, previous name, country of origin and country of destination, among other things. It also asks for the nationalities of the registered owner, manager and crew members.
Iran has said it is restricting passage through the waterway to ships affiliated with the US or Israel. Before February 28, when the US and Israel launched a war against Iran, ships did not need to share any information to pass through the strait.
According to CNN, the list of demands seems quite similar to the questions that were already being asked of ship owners, but that this process now formalizes the structure and appears to be a play by Iran to normalize its authority over transits.
On Tuesday, Iran established the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) to administer the passage. Under the new system, all ships intending to pass through the strait will receive an email from an address associated with the PGSA, informing them of the regulations for the passage, according to Iranian state broadcaster Press TV.
An email from the PGSA, obtained by CNN's sources, showed the authority warning that "complete and accurate information is essential" for processing the ship's request for transit and that "further instructions will be communicated via email."
The move is the latest step in Tehran's efforts to formalize control over the international strait, through which ships sailed freely before the war.
Një masë krejtësisht e domosdoshme për të shmangur kontrabandimin. Sapo të nënshkruhet marrëveshja SHBA- Iran edhe anijet me flamur Amerikan do kalojnë si gjithë të tjerët. Ngelet që edhe Izraeli të nënshkruaj një marrëveshje mos sulmimi të ndërsjelltë. Ose këtë garanci ta jap SHBA si mentor politik i Izraelit.
