Persian Gulf War Displaces STS Oil Transfers to India's West Coast

Escalating conflict in the Persian Gulf has driven ship-to-ship oil transfers away from the Strait of Hormuz and Oman, with operators shifting to India's western coast. This relocation reflects heightened risk in the Gulf and may strain Indian port infrastructure while altering global oil logistics. The shift is a direct consequence of war-related congestion and security concerns, though the scale and duration of the displacement remain uncertain.
