About this report
Between mid-May and mid-June 2026, three distinct but converging measures were introduced in connection with transit through the Strait of Hormuz: a transit charge levied per barrel, a maritime insurance platform settled in cryptocurrency, and, on the Chinese side, a measure prohibiting domestic firms from complying with United States sanctions.
Taken together, they operate on three planes — tariff, financial-technical, and legal — and amount to a parallel framework for the governance of passage.
Key questions this report answers
- How do the three mid-2026 Hormuz measures—a per-barrel transit charge, a crypto-settled insurance platform, and China's sanctions-blocking rule—combine into a parallel framework for governing passage?
- What legal basis and precedent could support levying a tariff on transit through the Strait of Hormuz?
- How does settling maritime insurance in cryptocurrency alter the financial-technical governance of the strait?
- What systemic implications for global energy trade and sanctions enforcement arise from this parallel passage regime?
