Three Indian Oil Tankers Clear Strait of Hormuz, 94 Crew Members Heading Home
Times of India·Saturday, 20 June 2026
Three Indian-flagged oil tankers carrying over 8.6 lakh metric tonnes of cargo and 94 crew members have safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz and are heading back to India. Their passage follows a US decision to lift its blockade on Iran, which had kept the strait restricted. The vessels are expected to reach Indian ports next week.
Why It Matters
India imports a large share of its oil through this route, so safe passage of these tankers directly affects energy supply and the safety of Indian sailors working in the region.
