An Indian-flagged crude tanker, Jag Laadki, has safely sailed out of UAE's Fujairah port, carrying about 80,800 tonnes of Murban crude oil. This is the fourth Indian-flagged vessel to have come out of the war zone unharmed.
The vessel departed UAE's Fujairah at 10:30 am IST and is now bound for India. This movement comes after Iran reportedly assured safe passage for Indian ships and tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has intensified its attacks on ports across the Gulf nations in the past week, accusing the US of using ports, docks, and hideouts in the UAE to launch strikes on Iran.
US President Donald Trump has called on allies to send warships to ensure the safe passage of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and to keep the vital route open.
