India-bound LPG tankers sail through Strait of Hormuz

New Delhi has said the vessels, carrying more than 92,000 tons of gas, are expected to arrive later this week

Two Indian-flagged tankers have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran, New Delhi has said.

The Indian Shipping Ministry confirmed that the tankers, carrying more than 92,000 tons of liquified petroleum gas (LPG), had sailed through ‌the strait. Indian crew members are on board the vessels, Reuters reported.

The ministry said the vessels ⁠were expected to reach ports in India between March 26 and 28.

The tankers had loaded LPG in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait before transiting through the Iranian chokepoint, ‌although overall traffic through the critical waterway remains blocked, Reuters said.
