Svmuu News: According to a recent report by Lloyd's List, some vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz are paying over $100,000 per ship for Iranian passage permits, a significant reduction from the initial stages of the conflict. The report, citing shipping security operators, states that current one-time transit fees can reach up to $120,000 for bulk carriers and $160,000 for oil tankers. The specific rates fluctuate based on factors such as vessel type, cargo, and the nationality of the shipowner. These fees represent a substantial decrease compared to the $1 million to $2 million per ship charged at the beginning of the conflict. (Xinhua News Agency)
