The India-bound LPG tanker Green Sanvi has successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz, according to ship-tracking platform MarineTraffic. It is the seventh LPG shipment to reach India via the Hormuz corridor through Iranian waters since the global oil crisis intensified.

Iran’s restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz have caused disruptions in global crude oil supplies, including in India, where long queues for LPG cylinders are being reported. Despite heightened tensions with the US and Israel, Iran has allowed several Indian-flagged vessels to pass safely.

It is noteworthy that six LPG tankers have already reached India since the West Asia war started. Green Sanvi, carrying over 44,000 metric tons of LPG, is expected to provide much-needed relief to the population facing shortages.

According to ship tracking data found that Green Sanvi, previously docked in the Persian Gulf, reached the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz on Friday evening, navigating through a corridor in Iranian waters. The tanker is now heading to Mumbai port.

Till date, six LPG tankers have arrived on the Indian coast: Shivalik, Nanda Devi, Jag Vasant, BW Tyr, BW Elm, and Pine Gas.
