Since the conflict in West Asia began on February 28, nine Indian ships carrying 198 sailors have been stationed near the Strait of Hormuz. While 50 ships have safely transited the area, these nine remain for commercial or specific purposes rather than being stranded. The Ministry of Shipping is monitoring the situation, noting that 18 Indian-flagged vessels have already passed through safely. Experts suggest it may take time for shipping companies to resume normal operations in the region due to the ongoing conflict. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/9-indian-ships-198-seafarers-near-strait-of-hormuz-shipping-ministry-update-12144356
