How high tariffs Iran wants to demand in the Strait of Hormuz

A tariff of up to 20 million Swedish kronor per ship would apply to vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This could be the cost, according to a bill that has now been approved by the Iranian parliament.

The proposal is based on a system similar to the Suez Canal, with a toll for passing ships. As an alternative to a fixed fee, there is also information about compensation based on each ship's cargo.

According to the state-controlled Iranian news agency Tasnim, the plans could generate huge revenues - around 100 billion US dollars annually, which would be more than the country's oil revenues, which are said to be around 80 billion dollars.
