LPG Tanker Shivalik Set to Reach Mundra Port Today After Crossing Strait of Hormuz

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) tanker Shivalik, which recently crossed the Strait of Hormuz, is set to arrive at Mundra Port in Gujarat on Monday. Two Indian-flagged vessels carrying LPG were granted transit through the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian authorities. 

One of them is Shivalik, while the other is Nanda Devi. Earlier, Rajesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Shipping Ministry, informed on Saturday that the vessels Shivalik and Nanda Devi are expected to arrive on March 16 and March



17, respectively.

“All Indian seafarers in the Persian Gulf region are safe, and no untoward incidents involving them have been reported over the last 24 hours. There were 24 Indian-flagged vessels in the Persian Gulf, situated to the west of the Strait of Hormuz. 

Among these, two vessels — Shivalik and Nanda Devi — are LPG carriers. They safely transited the Strait of Hormuz late last night/early this morning and are now proceeding towards India,” the secretary said.
