Oman weighs Strait of Hormuz fees after war

Oman is considering implementing fees for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, citing the need for services like pollution cleanup and navigation assistance. The proposal has raised concerns among the US, European governments, and Oman’s Gulf neighbors, who fear potential collaboration with Iran to establish a toll system. Oman stated it would adhere to international maritime law but has not clarified if the fees would be mandatory.
