Tehran: An Indian-flagged LPG carrier, Green Sanvi, has successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, with two more vessels—Green Asha and Jag Vikram—expected to follow in the coming days, signalling steady movement of India’s energy shipments despite rising regional tensions.
Carrying nearly 44,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas, Green Sanvi was recently tracked near the Gulf of Oman, according to shipping data. Its passage comes at a time when global supply constraints and geopolitical uncertainty continue to influence energy flows to India.
Since the onset of the conflict on February 28, at least six Indian-flagged fuel carriers—including MT Shivalik, MT Nanda Devi, Pine Gas, Jag Vasant, BW Tyr, and BW Elm—have safely crossed the strategic waterway while heading toward India.
Officials from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said authorities are closely monitoring the evolving situation and have implemented measures to safeguard Indian vessels and seafarers, while ensuring uninterrupted maritime trade.
“All Indian seafarers in the region are safe, and no incident involving Indian-flagged vessels has been reported in the past 24 hours,” the ministry said in a statement.
At present, 17 Indian-flagged vessels carrying 485 Indian seafarers remain in the western Persian Gulf following Green Sanvi’s transit.
The Directorate General of Shipping, in coordination with shipowners, recruitment agencies, and Indian missions abroad, continues to track developments round the clock. Its control room has handled 4,984 calls and 10,296 emails since activation, including 99 calls and 362 emails in the past 24 hours.
Authorities have also facilitated the safe return of over 1,130 Indian seafarers so far, including 155 repatriated in the last 24 hours from various Gulf locations.
