Two Indian-flagged LPG tankers approach the Strait of Hormuz, navigating safely amidst regional tensions to reach Indian ports.
Two more Indian-flagged LPG tankers have started their journey from the Persian Gulf and are expected to cross the war-hit Strait of Hormuz before heading to Indian ports, ship tracking data showed.
LPG tankers Pine Gas and Jag Vasant, sailing close to each other on Monday (March 23, 2026) afternoon, were near the waters between Iran's Larak and Qeshm islands — possibly to make their identity clear to Iranian authorities before they cross the Strait.

The two ships were among the 22 Indian-flagged vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf after the war in West Asia nearly closed the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that connects the oil- and gas-producing Gulf countries to the rest of the world.
Ship tracking data showed the two ships could cross the strait sometime on Monday (March 23, 2026) before heading to Indian ports.
