A warning from the Gulf Waterway Management Authority of illegal actions that may threaten the safety of ships

The Gulf Waterway Management Authority explained that this may expose ships, their owners, captains, and crews to material and human losses.

The statement indicated that this measure may also lead to the imposition of severe restrictions on the crossing of the Strait of Hormuz in the future by the ship in question, noting that reports in this regard have been received by the authority.

The statement called on shipowners to "exercise caution" regarding these "illegal actions by some charterers," according to its description.

The authority said that charterers found to have “committed violations” would have their companies added to the non-compliance list (NCL), and all its ships would be restricted from crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
