The Indian-flagged vessel Jag Vasant, which had been stranded for several days due to the conflict involving Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has arrived in India. The Indian-flagged ship reached a port in Gujarat on Friday morning. In recent days, two Indian-flagged vessels—Pine Gas and Jag Vasant—have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz. According to ship tracking data, both vessels were sighted last Monday between the Iranian islands of Larak and Qeshm.

These two vessels were among a group of 22 Indian ships that had been stranded in the Strait of Hormuz due to the conflict in West Asia. As a result of the hostilities, Iran had partially disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, thereby impacting global oil and gas supplies. The vessels Jag Vasant and Pine Gas are carrying a combined cargo of 92,612 metric tons of LPG. The Jag Vasant has a crew of 33 Indian sailors on board, while the Pine Gas carries 27 Indian sailors.

 

 

India Ensures Movement of Its Ships Through Diplomatic Efforts

Prior to this, two other Indian vessels—Shivalik and Nanda Devi—had also arrived in India carrying approximately 92,000 metric tons of LPG. There is a significant demand for LPG in India for both domestic and commercial use. Consequently, the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz had triggered an LPG shortage in India; however, the government engaged in diplomatic dialogue with Iran to successfully ensure the safe passage of Indian vessels through the Strait. Iran has also issued a statement clarifying that Indian vessels are not being detained.
