An India-linked supertanker carrying about 45,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a key cooking fuel, has attempted a rare exit through the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict in West Asia. The vessel, identified as Sarv Shakti, was tracked moving past Iranian islands into the Gulf of Oman, highlighting a cautious breakthrough in disrupted shipping routes. The move reflects India’s urgent efforts to ease a severe domestic cooking gas shortage caused by the Hormuz blockade and geopolitical tensions. Despite some successful transits, the route remains highly volatile, posing continued risks to energy security and supply stability.
