Jag Vikram Leads Way, First Indian Ship Through Hormuz Post Ceasefire

India-flagged LPG tanker "Jag Vikram" has successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first such vessel to do so after the announcement of a temporary two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The transit, which took place between Friday night and Saturday morning, comes amid easing tensions in the region, according to ship-tracking data. The development indicates a gradual return of maritime activity through the highly sensitive and strategically vital waterway. *Jag Vikram* is also the ninth Indian-flagged ship to exit the Persian Gulf since early March, pointing to a slow but steady normalization of shipping operations in one of the world’s most critical global energy transit routes.
