Meanwhile, Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said that two Indian LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, carrying a combined 92,600 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most sensitive maritime chokepoints amid escalating West Asia tensions.
