Iran's Hormuz Management Authority: "Online Application Required 48 Hours Before Transit"

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), established by the Iranian government to manage transit through the Strait of Hormuz, announced the online application process for passage on June 19 (local time).

In a notice posted on X dated June 17, the PGSA stated, "Transit applications for vessels that submit their forms in compliance with the regulations regarding the period specified in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding will be processed promptly."

According to the policy announced by the PGSA, transit applications must be submitted exclusively online (PGSA.ir), and any inquiries or tracking requests regarding the application should be sent via email (Info@PGSA.ir).

Furthermore, to prevent congestion in the entry and exit zones of the strait, vessels must submit the application with all required information at least 48 hours before arriving in the strait's jurisdiction and must also provide communication channels for immediate contact.

The PGSA explained that, as agreed upon in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, no fees will be collected for 60 days starting from June 17, adding, "The Iranian government will fully cover security, safety, and environmental service charges, as well as Iranian insurance premiums."

In addition, the authority emphasized that to ensure safe and secure passage and to prevent maritime accidents, vessels must coordinate their planned routes and schedules with the PGSA in advance before navigating through the strait.
