Currently, 20 cargo ships bound for India are stranded near the strait due to conflicts.

Once a cargo ship moves out of the choke point with Iranian consent, Indian Navy destroyers and frigates take over, escorting them out of the danger zone through a layered security arrangement.This effort is supported by the Indian Navy’s increased presence in the Gulf of Oman, where sufficient warships are available for escort duties.

By guiding Indian-flagged vessels along carefully identified safe routes, the Navy helped the vessels’ crews, mostly Indians, chart a safe navigational path into the Arabian Sea.The mission has achieved a major success, with the LPG carriers Pine Gas and Jag Vasant safely passing through the strait under naval protection. The vessels, carrying a total of nearly 92,000 tons of LPG, are expected to arrive at Indian ports within days.
