The Strait of Hormuz has become a real battlefield between Israel and America’s attacks on Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is a very important sea route for global oil trade, which has been closed by Iran. Due to the closure of Hormuz, oil from the Middle East is not able to reach the global oil market due to which oil prices are skyrocketing.
where other countries Oil While tankers are not able to cross the Strait of Hormuz, India has achieved an important success. An Indian oil tanker has reached Mumbai safely amid the war.
Mumbai Port Trust said that this tanker reached Mumbai port on Wednesday. It was extremely dangerous for the ship to safely cross the Strait of Hormuz, but with the wisdom of the Indian captain, the tanker was able to cross the strait.
How did the oil tanker coming to India cross the Strait of Hormuz?
While passing through the high-risk zone of the Strait of Hormuz, the ship had switched off its tracking system for some time and entered ‘dark mode’.
Liberian flagged tanker ‘Shenlong Suezmax’ reached Mumbai Port on Wednesday carrying crude oil loaded from Ras Tanura port in Saudi Arabia. The ship was carrying 1,35,335 metric tonnes of crude oil, unloading of which has started and will be transported to the refineries of Mumbai.

According to tanker tracking platforms, the last signal of Shenlong Suezmax was recorded in the Strait of Hormuz on March 9. After this, the ship switched off its Automatic Identification System (AIS) for some time while passing through the strait. This ship again appeared on the tracking system a day later and arrived and docked in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Two very large crude carriers (VLCC), three Suezmax tankers, which can pass through the Suez Canal even when fully loaded, and a Panamax tanker have been offline from AIS tracking for at least 48 hours, according to tanker tracking website TankerTrackers.com. Panamax tankers are ships whose size is designed according to the maximum dimensions of the original Panama Canal lock.
These ships were moving towards China, India and Japan.
What is Automatic Identification System (AIS)?
Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a system installed on ships, which automatically transmits information about the identity, location and movement of the ship to other ships and coastal authorities.
Its main objective is to make maritime navigation safe, prevent collisions and ease maritime surveillance. When a ship turns off this system, it becomes almost impossible to trace its location at sea.
America and Israel iran Hormuz has been closed since the attacks against it started. More than 20 million barrels of crude oil passes through here every day. It accounts for about 20% of global oil consumption and about a quarter of seaborne oil trade.
Iran has attacked at least 16 ships in the last two weeks and has warned that there could be further attacks on ships sailing in the region.
Meanwhile, the Indian government has said that currently 28 Indian-flagged ships are operating in the Persian Gulf region. Of these, 24 ships, carrying 677 Indian sailors, are present in the west of the Strait of Hormuz, while four ships with 101 Indian sailors on board are present in the east of Hormuz.
On Wednesday, a Thai ship heading towards Kandla port in Gujarat was also attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, to which India has reacted strongly.
