India-Bound LPG Ships Cross Strait of Hormuz With 92,700 Tonnes Amid Supply Fears

Описание: Two India-flagged LPG carriers have safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz and are now heading toward Gujarat, bringing crucial energy supplies amid growing concerns over fuel disruptions in the Gulf region.

According to government officials, the vessels Shivalik and Nanda Devi are carrying nearly 92,700 metric tonnes of LPG. The ships are expected to dock at Mundra Port on March 16 and Kandla Port on March 17.

The shipment comes as tensions in West Asia raise concerns about global energy supply routes. India imports nearly 60% of its LPG, with most shipments passing through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, the government has urged citizens not to panic book LPG cylinders, after bookings surged to 88.8 lakh in a single day on Friday.

To prevent supply disruptions, Indian ports are prioritising LPG vessels for berthing. Shipping Ministry official Rajesh Kumar Sinha confirmed that six LPG carriers from other regions were given priority docking at major ports over the last three days.

Ports are also providing safe anchorage for vessels unable to pass through the Strait, as authorities work to ensure stable LPG supply across the country.

The government says these measures are aimed at preventing shortages and calming consumer concerns during the ongoing regional crisis.
