IRAN, OMAN EYE NEW HORMUZ TRANSIT PLAN A source says Iran and Oman are discussing a new Strait of Hormuz transit framework. • Ships would initially enter via the northern lane (Iran) and exit via the southern lane (Oman) • Later, all traffic would shift to a central corridor • Iran would manage inbound traffic, while Iran and Oman would jointly manage outbound traffic • Transit fees would be based on services provided, not cargo value, including insurance, bunkering and environmental services.
