Strait Of Hormuz Crisis: India Emerges Among Top Countries For Vessel Crossings With 8 Ships
India has emerged among the top countries for vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz, with eight ships successfully passing through despite the ongoing conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil and gas trade, and India's ability to maintain energy supplies through this route has significant implications for regional security and oil markets.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital passage for global oil and gas trade. India has managed to cross eight vessels through the strait, including the LPG tanker Green Sanvi. These ships have helped maintain fuel supplies for households and industries in India. Iran has allowed traffic from 'friendly nations' like India, Russia, China, and Pakistan. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has insisted the waterway is under its control, rejecting calls to reopen the channel broadly. India's Ministry of External Affairs has said the Indian Navy has maintained a presence in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea to keep shipping routes secure.
