DUBAI, June 19 — Iran's Strait ‌of Hormuz body ​said on Friday it would waive ‌planned fees to use ​the strait during a 60-day negotiation period under the memorandum ​of understanding signed with the United States this week.

Ships seeking passage through ‌the strait while ⁠the interim agreement ⁠is in ⁠force must submit ⁠transit ⁠requests at least 48 hours before arrival, ⁠Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) said in a notice.

Iran would waive fees for security, ⁠safety, environmental services and related insurance during the period, ⁠while requiring vessels to coordinate ⁠routes ⁠and transit times ​in advance due ​to areas ‌affected by mines ​and to ​ensure safe navigation. — Reuters
