More than 60% of ships carrying cargo to India are limiting or switching off their public tracking signals while passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes amid rising security concerns linked to tensions involving Iran. "Going dark" means ships reduce or stop broadcasting their public location through the Automatic Identification System (AIS). Officials said the vessels continue to sail safely and remain in contact with authorities through secure channels. India has said there is no immediate impact on oil or fuel supplies, and ships are continuing to cross the strategic waterway with extra precautions. (PC: Reuters)
