NEW DELHI, March 17 -- An Indian warship is escorting an Indian-flagged oil tanker out of the Gulf of Oman to the country's west coast after it sailed from the Fujairah port in the UAE amid the ongoing war in West Asia, officials aware of the matter said on Monday. The vessel Jag Laadki, carrying 80,800 MT of crude oil, is the third Indian-flagged fuel carrier heading towards India from the region since the start of the war, the officials said on condition of anonymity. It will reach Mundra port on Tuesday. Three Indian warships are currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman and oil tankers are headed to India under their watch, officials said. To be sure, the oil tanker did not cross the Strait of Hormuz that is the centre of military tensions amid the war in West Asia. Jag Laadki was unharmed during a drone attack on Fujairah before it set sail for India, as reported by HT on Sunday. The tanker was loading crude oil at Fujairah when the port's oil terminal was attacked. Two Indian-flagged LPG carriers, Shivalik and Nanda Devi, with 92,712 metric tonnes of LPG, transited the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. The first arrived at Mundra port in Gujarat on Monday, and the second is expected to reach India on Tuesday. Indian naval presence in the Gulf of Oman is maintained under Operation Sankalp, which predates the current tensions in the region. In 2019, the navy deployed to the Gulf to reassure Indian-flagged vessels transiting through the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman....
