The Iranian Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) announced on Tuesday that more than 200 non-Iranian ships submitted applications to obtain permits for transiting the Strait of Hormuz during the three weeks following the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, and before the escalation of military tensions in and around the strait.
Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
The authority stated in a statement that most of the ships that coordinated with it obtained transit permits and insurance coverage, without specifying an exact number of ships that were granted approvals.
Before the announcement of the strait’s closure during the weekend, Tehran affirmed that the waterway would remain open to ships that coordinate their transit with Iranian authorities through the authority, holding American military movements in the region responsible for the recent closure.
Iran had earlier this year established the Gulf Strait Authority with the aim of supervising navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and formalizing its management of the maritime passage through which a large percentage of global oil exports pass.
