Two Indian-flagged tankers carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have reached Indian ports after being cleared by Iran to transit the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Two more tankers, BW Tyr and BW Elm, have begun their journey through the waterway.
The Jag Vasant and Pine Gas tankers arrived safely in Indian waters after tracking the Iranian coastline closely. The Jag Vasant dropped anchor at Vadinar, while the Pine Gas is scheduled to reach the Dhamra port in Odisha on April 2.
Both ships carried significant quantities of LPG, with the Jag Vasant carrying 47,000 tonnes and the Pine Gas carrying an undisclosed amount. The cargo has since been transferred to other ships for onward transportation.
Meanwhile, BW Tyr and BW Elm are currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz. BW Tyr is set to reach Mumbai on March 31, while BW Elm is headed to New Mangalore and is expected to reach on April 1.
