Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions, India-Bound Oil Tanker 'Nissos Keros' Continues Voyage to Visakhapatnam
Shipping data showed the vessels heading to India and China as Iran’s new transit rules and regional tensions kept traffic under close watch.
- On Friday, the LNG tanker Umm Al Ashtan, managed by ADNOC, exited the Strait of Hormuz with transponders switched off, shipping data showed as the vessel headed toward India.
- Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, established earlier this month, regulates maritime traffic by requiring coordination with the IRGC Navy, an oversight following the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that began February 28.
- Before the war began, shipping traffic through the Strait averaged 125 to 140 daily passages, but current activity remains limited as approximately 1,500 ships are trapped in the Persian Gulf.
- Iran's measures put a chokehold on 20 per cent of global gas and oil, while President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to strike Oman if it assists Tehran in collecting transit fees.
- About 20,000 seafarers remain stranded on hundreds of ships in the Gulf, and free navigation through the Strait continues to be a central issue complicating any potential deal to end the war between Iran, the U.S., and Israel.
