British media report Iran is considering charging European countries under a plan to reopen and fund maintenance of the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal would create a voluntary fund financed by Gulf states and some European members of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Proposed voluntary fees would pay for navigation management, environmental protection, search-and-rescue and other services in the strait, Gulf and European sources say. Oman believes energy-dependent countries and shipowners would be willing to contribute. Italy, Belgium and France are among the European states most reliant on Gulf oil and LNG imports.
