Indian-flagged LPG vessel Jag Vikram has successfully reached Kandla Port in Gujarat, carrying 20,400 metric tonnes of LPG after crossing the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz.
The vessel docked at the port after navigating one of the world’s most sensitive maritime routes, which had seen disruptions due to rising geopolitical tensions in the region.
Notably, Jag Vikram is among the first Indian ships to transit the strait following the recent US-Iran ceasefire, signaling a gradual restoration of trade and shipping activity.
The arrival is expected to strengthen India’s LPG supply chain, especially at a time when energy shipments through the route are being closely monitored.
Officials also confirmed that efforts are ongoing to bring back several Indian vessels still stranded in the region, ensuring stable energy supplies and maritime operations.
This development highlights improving conditions in the Strait of Hormuz and reinforces India’s efforts to secure critical energy imports amid global uncertainties.
