Amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, a new shipping route has emerged in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, offering relief to global energy transport. At least four vessels, including one Indian ship carrying oil and LPG, successfully navigated this alternative path. The route avoids traditional international waters and instead passes through Oman’s territorial sea, reducing risks from tensions and restrictions. The strait, which handles nearly 20% of global energy supplies, remains critical for India’s oil and gas imports. This development signals a possible easing of disruptions caused by the conflict, though several ships carrying energy cargo for India are still stranded in the region. (PC: NDTV)
