The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) — the Iranian body governing the Strait of Hormuz — says it has taken legal action against two bulk carriers for allegedly using forged documents to travel to ports in Gulf countries, state broadcaster Press TV reports.
In a statement on its official X account, the PGSA, which did not identify the ships or provide details about when the violations occurred, says the vessels tried to sail without coordinating their movements with it.
The body adds that both ships accepted commitments set by the PGSA, allowing them to avoid being placed on its blacklist.
It adds that other vessels which have previously breached PGSA regulations could face less stringent commitments if they “acknowledge their violations by sending an email”.
