US EditionSeventh Indian LPG Tanker Crosses Strait of Hormuz Amid US-Iran War; 17 More Ships Still Stranded
The tanker carried about 15,400 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas, and JNPA said it is the first such vessel to reach the port since the war began.
- On Thursday, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority welcomed India-flagged LPG tanker Green Asha after it successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel.
- The West Asia conflict has disrupted global energy routes, forcing vessels to coordinate with Iranian authorities for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for India's LPG supplies accounting for 90% of imports.
