Malaysian Minister of Transport: Malaysian oil tankers are not required to pay transit fees for the Strait of Hormuz

According to Golden Ten Data on March 31, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated that Malaysian oil tankers permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will not be required to pay the transit fees levied by Iran. Loke said at an event on Tuesday: “We are a friendly party and maintain good diplomatic relations with the Iranian government.” Last Saturday, Malaysia's Foreign Minister said Iran had approved seven Malaysian oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz, which has become a conflict hotspot in the Middle East war. The Malaysian vessels currently detained in this key waterway include ships belonging to energy giant Petronas, shipping company MISC, and Sapura Energy.
