Ship-to-ship oil transfers surge off India's west coast as Hormuz congestion persists

Vessel-tracking data shows 82 cargoes (~680,000 bpd) were transferred via ship-to-ship operations in India's Gulf of Kutch in September, as congestion near the Strait of Hormuz pushes STS activity into new waters. This indicates sustained pressure on Gulf oil flows and a workaround for sanctions or logistical bottlenecks. The shift to Indian waters may signal increased evasion of tracking or rerouting due to regional tensions.
