Two Indian-flagged LPG tankers safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz

en.Wedoany.com Reported, Two Indian-flagged liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tankers, BW Tyr and BW Elm, have safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz and are heading towards India. According to a statement from the Ministry of Petroleum, these two vessels are carrying approximately 94,000 tonnes of cooking gas and are expected to arrive in Mumbai and New Mangalore on March 31 and April 1, respectively.

Recently, shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz has drawn attention. Iranian authorities have stated that non-hostile vessels can pass through the waterway after coordination. According to LSEG ship-tracking data, as of Friday, four LPG tankers have completed the passage, with three more remaining in the western part of the strait.

Government information shows that a total of 18 Indian-flagged vessels and 485 Indian seafarers are currently in the western Gulf region. As one of the world's major LPG importers, India consumed 33.15 million tonnes of the gas last year, with imports accounting for about 60% of its demand. Approximately 90% of these imports came from the Middle East.

Operations at ports across India remain normal, with no congestion reported. The smooth passage of these tankers helps ensure the stability of India's LPG supply.
