LPG Ships Pine Gas And Jag Vasant Safely Cross Hormuz, Crew Hails Indian Navy

Two Indian LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, have successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz, strengthening India’s energy security amid West Asia tensions. Together carrying 92,600 metric tonnes of LPG, the vessels are protected by the Indian Navy, with all 60 Indian sailors onboard safe. They are expected to reach Indian ports between March 26 and 28, ensuring stable cooking gas and fuel supplies. The passage comes as the government keeps close watch on energy logistics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently assured Parliament that India has no immediate LPG or fuel shortage. The Strait of Hormuz remains a vital channel for global energy trade, making the safe transit of these carriers a critical development for India.
