###### [Proposed framework would eventually route all traffic through central lane jointly managed by Tehran, Muscat](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/iran-oman-hormuz-framework-to-impose-service-fees-report/4020419)

> **A proposed negotiating framework between Iran and Oman would require ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to pay fees for a range of maritime services, while eventually replacing the existing northern and southern shipping lanes with a centrally managed corridor,** according to an informed source at Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
> 
> The source told Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency that, **during an initial transitional period, vessels would enter the Strait of Hormuz through the northern shipping lane near Iran’s coast and exit through the southern shipping lane near Oman’s coast.**
> 
> **After the transition, traffic through both the northern and southern lanes would cease, with all vessels passing through a central shipping lane. Under the proposal, inbound traffic would be managed by Iran, while outbound traffic would be managed jointly by Iran and Oman.**
> 
> The source said **vessels transiting the strait would be required to pay charges in the form of fees for services provided.**
> 
> **Those services would include insurance, bunkering (fueling), environmental protection and similar maritime support, the source said.**
> 
> **The source dismissed reports claiming that Iran and Oman were divided over whether to charge ships 7% or 3% of the value of their cargo, describing such reports as inaccurate.**
> 
> Instead, t**he fees collected from ships would vary depending on multiple factors, including the scope of services Iran is able to provide, the source said.**
