Iran announced a blacklist of 45 ships it said had broken its rules for crossing the Strait of Hormuz, warning it would take action, including fines, detention and confiscation of cargo, against any vessel transferring loads with them, through a newly set up Persian Gulf Strait Authority. At least three Indian oil refiners and a global energy major plan to stop using the blacklisted vessels, including for ship to ship transfers, citing security concerns, six months into the United States and Israeli war on Iran. The blacklist appears designed to impede the shuttle tanker runs that Gulf producers such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have used to move oil through Hormuz for ship to ship transfer in the Gulf of Oman.
