Director Opesh Kumar Sharma from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) stated that the government is coordinating with various ministries and stakeholders to ensure the safe return of Indian vessels and energy cargoes from the Persian Gulf region.
No other Indian-flagged vessel has exited the Persian Gulf since the Malta-flagged LNG carrier Disha crossed the Strait of Hormuz on June 15 and proceeded towards India.
The government is working in coordination with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers, Ministry of External Affairs, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure the safe return of Indian vessels.
As of now, no other Indian-flag vessel has moved out after Disha, and efforts are underway to ensure the movement of both energy cargoes and Indian-flagged ships.
