According to CoinMeta, the Gulf of Persia Strait Administration of Iran stated on the 11th local time that recently two bulk carriers attempted to use forged documents to sail towards the ports of countries along the southern coast of the Gulf of Persia without prior coordination, and therefore faced legal action. By accepting the terms set by the administration, these vessels avoided being listed as "non-compliant ships." In addition, the administration announced that for vessels that have previously violated regulations, if they admit to their violations via email, they may be granted some leniency in subsequent requirements.
