India receives 2nd oil shipment since conflict began
An Indian tanker narrowly avoided attack
Evacuations are under way (276 have been evacuated so far), but with global oil traffic through the Strait significantly reduced, fuel prices are up, and India's energy supply is under real pressure.
It's tense out there. An Indian oil tanker, Jag Laadki, narrowly avoided an attack near Fujairah on March 14. Thankfully, all crew members are safe.
There are still 24 vessels waiting west of the Strait, including two LPG carriers headed for Mundra and Kandla soon.
The crisis has left about 23,000 Indian crew members stuck at sea.
