Two India-flagged very large gas carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz despite ongoing regional conflict. Sailing from the UAE toward Iran’s Qeshm and Larak islands, the vessels used routes close to the Iranian coast under strict monitoring. Their transit comes as the vital shipping lane faces disruptions due to escalating tensions. India, dealing with LPG supply concerns, coordinated diplomatically to ensure safe passage. The ships reportedly signaled Indian identity instead of destination, reflecting heightened maritime risks in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
