Iran blacklists 45 ships in the Strait of Hormuz and oil companies plan to avoid them.
Iran announced a blacklist of 45 ships it said had broken its rules for crossing the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to fine, detain, or confiscate cargoes of vessels transferring loads with them. At least three Indian oil refiners and a global energy major plan to stop using the blacklisted vessels due to security concerns. Some of the named tankers are owned or chartered by Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC).
