— - Blo...Two Indian-owned ships carrying liquefied petroleum gas have received safe passage through Iran's restricted Strait of Hormuz after negotiations following regional strikes in late February. The vessels are expected by Monday evening to reach the Gulf of Oman, a route that typically takes 14 hours and is currently controlled via Iranian coastline due to ongoing tensions affecting global shipping patterns.
Two Indian-flagged LPG carriers are transiting through Iran-controlled waters in the Strait of Hormuz using an approved route along its coastline due to fuel shortages. This movement follows a pattern established by other nations like China and India, as Tehran has largely halted traffic since February strikes while permitting only vessels linked with specific countries or negotiating safe passage.
Two additional Indian-flagged LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, are navigating through Iran-approved routes near Qeshm Island while signaling only their ownership to avoid detection. This movement follows earlier diplomatic efforts that allowed two other vessels (Shivalik and Nanda Devi) to safely cross the Strait of Hormuz with cargo equivalent to a day's cooking gas supply for India.
