President Donald Trump said a proposed agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has been “largely negotiated”, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough after months of conflict disrupted one of the world’s most important energy routes. Final terms are still being discussed among Washington, Tehran and regional governments, with an announcement expected once the remaining points are settled. Trump said the framework followed calls with […]
The Al Hamra, operated by ADNOC Logistics & Services, was tracked leaving the Gulf with a cargo headed towards western India after weeks of restricted tanker movements through the narrow waterway. The vessel had stopped transmitting its position around April 19, when it was empty and near the eastern entrance of Hormuz, before reappearing with indications that it had loaded and moved through the passage.
The shipment is significant because it points to a cautious reopening of Gulf energy trade for selected cargoes, even as shipping remains constrained by security checks, insurance costs and uncertainty over whether the waterway can return to normal operations. The Strait of Hormuz links the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, making it the most sensitive maritime route for Gulf oil and gas exports to Asia.
For India, the transit offers limited relief after weeks of pressure on energy logistics. The country relies heavily on imported LNG to supply fertiliser plants, city gas networks, refineries, power producers and industrial users. Western India, where several import terminals are located, is a critical landing point for Gulf cargoes because of its proximity to major gas-consuming states and pipeline networks.
The war that began on February 28 led to a sharp fall in tanker traffic through Hormuz, leaving ships idle inside the Gulf and forcing buyers to consider alternative cargoes from outside the region. LNG, crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas flows were all affected, with importers seeking supplies from the United States, Africa and Southeast Asia where available. The disruption came at a sensitive time for Asian buyers, with summer demand rising and spot cargoes becoming more costly.
Around one-fifth of global LNG trade passes through Hormuz in normal conditions. Qatar is the dominant LNG exporter through the route, while the UAE also ships cargoes from its Das Island facility. Asia receives the overwhelming share of Hormuz-linked LNG, with China, India and South Korea among the leading destinations. Any sustained restriction therefore has an immediate effect on Asian gas pricing and supply planning.
India’s LNG import system has expanded over the past decade, but dependence on seaborne supply remains a strategic vulnerability. The country has operational terminals at Dahej, Hazira, Dabhol, Kochi, Ennore, Mundra and Dhamra, with combined capacity of nearly 48 million tonnes a year. Dahej in Gujarat remains the most important facility, serving fertiliser units, refineries, power plants and city gas distributors across northern and western markets.
The Al Hamra movement follows earlier signs that limited LNG traffic had resumed through the chokepoint. The Mubaraz, another LNG tanker linked to the UAE, crossed out of the Gulf in late April after weeks of inactivity, becoming the first loaded LNG shipment to exit Hormuz since the conflict began. A second ADNOC-linked LNG tanker followed in early May, showing that Gulf suppliers were testing the scope for controlled departures.
Shipping executives and energy traders remain cautious, however. Vessel owners are facing higher war-risk premiums, tighter routing decisions and uncertainty over whether transponders should remain active in conflict-sensitive waters. Some tankers have switched off tracking systems for security reasons, making it harder for buyers and market participants to confirm loading and transit details in real time.
India has also been dealing with pressure in LPG supply, a politically sensitive segment because of household cooking fuel demand. Several LPG cargoes linked to India were stranded or delayed after the Hormuz disruption, prompting authorities to prioritise the return of ships already inside the Gulf before sending more vessels into the area. That approach reflects a broader effort to balance energy security with crew safety and insurance exposure.

The upcoming workshop is designed to give beginners a simple introduction to jewellery making within a supportive studio environment. Designed for teenagers and adults, the sessions aim to make the craft accessible to beginners by combining creative exploration with an introduction to basic jewellery-making techniques.
During the workshop, participants will work with a curated selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery components to design an accessory that reflects their personal style. At the end of each session, participants will complete and take home a handcrafted necklace or bracelet that they have assembled themselves.
Helping Beginners Feel More Confident About Jewellery Making
Interest in handmade crafts and personalised accessories has grown in recent years, yet many people hesitate to try jewellery making for the first time. Uncertainty about creative ideas, along with unfamiliarity with specialised tools and techniques, can make the process feel daunting for beginners.
Kaleida Studio developed the workshop to make the craft more approachable. Through step-by-step instruction and access to the appropriate tools and materials, participants can explore jewellery making in a structured environment without prior experience.
The session introduces basic tools and techniques while allowing participants to experiment with different combinations of gemstone beads and charms. This approach gives beginners the confidence to learn the process while enjoying the experience of creating a handcrafted piece that reflects their own design choices.
A Personalised Jewellery-Making Experience
A defining feature of the DIY jewellery workshop is its emphasis on personal design. Rather than following a fixed template, participants are encouraged to create pieces that reflect their own aesthetic preferences.
The studio provides a selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery-making tools, allowing participants to experiment with different colours, textures, and arrangements. Basic assembly techniques are introduced to help ensure that each piece is securely constructed.
“At Kaleida Studio, we believe creativity should be something people can explore in their own way,” said Cherry, founder of Kaleida Studio. “This workshop grew from our own interest in jewellery making and our desire to share that experience with others. By walking participants through the process, we hope to show that anyone can create something meaningful and unique with their own hands.”
Encouraging Creative Exploration in a Studio Setting
Kaleida Studio seeks to provide a welcoming space where individuals can explore creative expression at their own pace. In addition to the jewellery workshop, the studio offers art classes for adults, giving participants opportunities to experiment with different artistic media in a relaxed and supportive environment.
The studio also hosts group sessions, such as a corporate workshop, where teams can take part in guided crafting activities designed to encourage collaboration and creative thinking.
For those looking for a more open-ended experience, Kaleida Studio offers a setting similar to an art jam studio, where participants can spend time exploring materials, ideas, and techniques in a flexible and supportive studio environment.
Availability and Booking
The DIY jewellery workshop is scheduled to launch in mid-2026. Once available, sessions can be booked through Kaleida Studio’s website. Enquiries are also welcome by email, phone, or WhatsApp.
Further details on workshop schedules and registration will be announced through Kaleida Studio’s official channels, including its Instagram page.
Future Plans
Kaleida Studio plans to further develop its jewellery workshop by introducing a wider range of materials and exploring additional types of handcrafted jewellery. These future additions aim to expand the creative possibilities available to participants while continuing to support the studio’s focus on encouraging artistic expression through hands-on crafting experiences.
