Two Indian-flagged LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, are transiting the strategically sensitive Strait of Hormuz, carrying over 92,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas bound for India. Ship-tracking data shows the vessels are following a route close to Iran’s coastline, approved to ensure safe passage amid ongoing regional tensions. Their movement comes as global shipping remains disrupted due to the US-Iran conflict, which has severely affected energy supplies. The ships are expected to reach Indian ports within days, offering partial relief to India’s LPG shortages and highlighting efforts to maintain critical fuel supply chains during the crisis.
