As many as 19 vessels carrying LPG, crude oil and LNG for India are stranded in the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating West Asia conflict. These include 10 foreign-flagged ships and several Indian vessels transporting critical energy supplies. Officials said eight Indian ships have safely exited, while others remain stuck among hundreds affected by disrupted shipping. The blockage threatens India’s energy security and supply chains, as the strait handles a major share of global oil flows. Authorities are prioritising the safe evacuation of Indian-flagged vessels before considering further supply operations, highlighting the growing economic impact of the conflict. (PC: Reuters)
