Two gas tankers sail to India through Strait of Hormuz

Two gas tankers sail to India through Strait of Hormuz Iran has allowed two Indian-flagged liquefied petroleum gas carriers to sail through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The incident is a rare exception, as the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has prevented more than 1,000 cargo ships, mainly oil and gas tankers, from transiting the key maritime passage, disrupting global energy supplies. The Indian-flagged LPG tanker Shivalik crossed the strait under escort from the Indian Navy, two of the sources said, and the second vessel, Nanda Devi, was expected to clear in the next few hours.
