The International Maritime Organization (IMO) on Monday rejected collection of taxes or any other payments for passage through international waters.
The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran last week confirmed that revenue from tolls collected on ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz was deposited. "There's no legal basis for the introduction of any tax, any customs, or any fees for on straits for international navigation," IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said at a press conference.
He went on to confirm that the organization is in contact with countries in the region, adding that plans for the evacuation of around 20,000 people currently stranded on vessels can only be started once the strait is fully secure.
