After Green Sanvi successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz on April 3, another vessel, Green Asha, crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, according to a report issued by the directorate general of shipping.
After Green Asha’s exit, only one LPG vessel, Jag Vikram, remains in the region and is awaiting further instructions from the Indian Navy for its transit through the strait.
Green Sanvi, carrying 46,655 metric tonnes of LPG, is expected to arrive at Dahej, in Gujarat’s Bharuch district, on April 7.
Meanwhile, LPG carrier BW TYR is currently in Mumbai, discharging cargo through ship-to-ship transfer operations at the city’s outer port limits.
According to the shipping ministry’s report, 16 Indian vessels are currently in the Persian Gulf (west of the Strait of Hormuz), four in the Gulf of Oman (east of the strait), one in the Gulf of Aden, and two in the Red Sea.
Of these, five vessels in the Persian Gulf belong to the Shipping Corporation of India.
As of April 5, 1,479 seafarers have been evacuated by various shipping companies.
