Then the process of these 2 Iranian super tankers was processed for auction in early 2026. The Customs Government auctioned these 2 Iranian super tankers for 1.1 Billion Rupiah or $ 64, 7 Million.
After the Iran vs USA-Israel war, Iran took revenge on Indonesia by detaining an Indonesian super tanker in the Strait of Horuz. The tankers were named Pertamina Pride and Gosnorus.
Indonesia must be patient and continue to mediate with the Iranian government to release the Indonesian super tanker carrying oil supplies for the Indonesian people. Foreign ships allowed to pass through the Strait of Horuz India, Pakistan, Malaysia. Indonesia still have to wait for permission to pass through the Strait of Horuz on March 28, 2026. Indonesia still have to negotiate with the Iranian side.
