Indian-flagged vessel Jag Prakash stranded in Strait of Hormuz sails away safely

New Delhi (TIP): One of the 28 Indian-flagged vessel stranded in the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has sailed away safely, PTI news agency reported on Friday, March 13.

The Indian ship, Jag Prakash, carrying oil from Oman to Africa has set sail from the east of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a key transit route for one fifth of the global energy supplies. Hundreds of ships have been stranded in the maritime lane since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, and Tehran targeted the region in retaliation.

Rajesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Shipping, said at a media briefing that one of the four Indian ships stranded to the east of the strait has now set sail, carrying fuel for an African destination, PTI  reported. Sinha said that of the total 28 Indian vessels stuck near the strait, 24 of them were to the West of the strategic route, while the remaining four were to the east. More than 20 million barrels of crude oil pass daily through the Strait of Hormuz that separates the Iranian coast from Oman.

  1. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
