A crude oil tanker carrying Iranian oil is heading toward India’s east coast, potentially marking the first such import in nearly seven years. The vessel, Jaya, a Curacao-flagged very large crude carrier, moved from the Strait of Malacca into the Andaman Sea near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and is now sailing in the Bay of Bengal. Ship tracking data and trade sources indicate it may deliver cargo to a port like Paradip for Indian Oil Corporation. Malaysian waters have served as holding zones for Iranian crude shipments. If completed, the delivery would signal a notable shift in India’s oil sourcing amid evolving geopolitical and energy dynamics. (PC: The Indian Express)
