Seventh Indian LPG Tanker Crosses Strait of Hormuz Amid US-Iran War; 17 More Ships Still Stranded

  • The liquefied petroleum gas carrier Green Sanvi is currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz, transporting around 44,000 tonnes of LPG toward India after crossing the strategic chokepoint.
  • Ongoing conflict in West Asia has significantly reduced vessel movement through the Strait, a critical energy chokepoint; India relies on this route for about 90% of its LPG imports, nearly 60% of total requirements.
  • According to India's Shipping Ministry, 18 India-flagged vessels remain anchored west of the Strait, while at least 10 foreign-flagged energy tankers carrying cargoes for India are also stranded in the region.
  • With Green Sanvi's movement, only 17 India-flagged vessels remain in the Strait; the carrier is expected to arrive at an Indian port on April 12, with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited listed as buyer.
  • Sumit Ritolia, Lead Research Analyst at Kpler, said "India remains highly exposed to LPG supply amid the SoH blockade," noting only six cargoes have successfully reached India since the West Asia crisis began.
