‘Friends Have A Special Place’: Iran Grants Thai Tanker Safe Hormuz Passage Free Of Charge
Thailand joins a growing list of countries coordinating directly with Tehran for safe Hormuz transit, as Iran selectively waives fees for some vessels while charging others
Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow facilitated the safe passage of an oil tanker through Hormuz after coordinating with Tehran, Reuters reported on 25 March, adding that no fees were charged, despite disruptions caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
“I requested that if Thai ships need to pass through the strait, could they assist in ensuring safe passage?” Sihasak said, adding that Iran “responded that they would take care of it and asked us to provide the names of the vessels that would be transiting.”
The tanker, owned by Thai energy company Bangchak Corporation, crossed on 24 March following talks between Bangkok and Tehran, with Thai officials and the company confirming that no payment was required.
