A Panama-flagged LPG carrier, Tara Gas, crossed the Strait of Hormuz through an Iran-approved shipping lane amid rising tensions in the Gulf region. Ship-tracking data showed the vessel passing near Iran’s Larak Island after departing Sharjah in the UAE. The ship identified its crew and ownership as Indian during transit. Bloomberg reported that Tara Gas had earlier transported Iranian cargo and still faces risks linked to US sanctions on Iranian shipping. The vessel’s movement comes weeks after IRGC gunboats fired at two ships in Hormuz. India and other countries have opened diplomatic channels with Tehran to ensure safe passage for energy cargo vessels. (PC: India Today)
