Petroleros indios salen del estrecho de Ormuz tras el anuncio de Irán de su apertura

Tras la declaración del ministro de Asuntos Exteriores iraní, Abbas Araghchi, de que el estrecho de Ormuz está "completamente abierto", los buques con bandera india que transportan crudo vital para las necesidades energéticas de la India han comenzado a salir del golfo Pérsico. Esto marca un mayor alivio tras los tránsitos selectivos anteriores de barcos sin vínculos con Estados Unidos o Israel en medio del conflicto en curso.

El estrecho de Ormuz, cerrado por Irán tras los ataques aéreos de Estados Unidos e Israel a finales de febrero de 2026, ha experimentado reaperturas graduales. Irán ha permitido el paso de buques considerados amigos, con tránsitos previos que incluyeron barcos chinos, franceses, omaníes y japoneses a principios de abril.

El 17 de abril, horas después de que el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Abbas Araghchi, declarara que el estrecho estaba "completamente abierto", varios buques con bandera india que se encontraban varados en el golfo Pérsico comenzaron a navegar hacia la India. Estos barcos transportan principalmente crudo, esencial para la seguridad energética de la India. The Hindu ha seguido el rastro de los buques con bandera india y con destino a la India en la región durante el último mes.

Este acontecimiento señala una mayor fiabilidad para los flujos energéticos mundiales a través del estrecho, que gestiona aproximadamente una quinta parte del petróleo y el GNL del mundo, ofreciendo un alivio a la cadena de suministro de la India.
