In the face of rising tensions in the Persian Gulf, two Indian-flagged LPG tankers have successfully navigated the embattled Strait of Hormuz, reaching safety in Gujarat. The ship Nanda Devi docked at Kandla port early Tuesday morning, joining Shivalik, which arrived a day prior at Mundra port.
Carrying a critical supply equivalent to a day's national requirement for cooking gas, these vessels accentuate India's strategic maritime operations amid escalating conflict. Despite the safe arrival of these ships, 22 Indian-flagged vessels remain in the conflict zone.
India's Directorate General of Shipping is vigilantly monitoring the situation, coordinating with stakeholders to ensure the safe return of remaining vessels. With global energy dynamics at stake, India's strategic coordination underscores the importance of maintaining open maritime channels.
