India receives two LPG tankers after they cross the strategically important Strait of Hormuz with clearance from Iran. At the same time, two more vessels — BW Tyr and BW Elm — begin their transit through the same route on Saturday, officials say.

Jag Vasant Anchors at Gujarat Terminal

First, Jag Vasant reaches Vadinar in Gujarat at around 8 pm on Friday. The 230-metre-long tanker docks at a terminal operated by Deendayal Port Authority, also known as Kandla.

Officials say Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited chartered the vessel. It carried 47,000 tonnes of LPG. Authorities have already shifted the cargo to another ship for further transport. Meanwhile, spokesperson Omprakash Dadlani confirms that all 14 crew members are safe and in good health.

Pine Gas Moves Towards Odisha

Next, Pine Gas enters Indian territorial waters on Friday night. Indian Oil Corporation chartered this vessel. It is now heading towards Dhamra port in Odisha, which the Adani Group operates. Officials expect the tanker to arrive on April 2.

Tankers Follow Iran-Approved Route

Importantly, both ships cross the Strait of Hormuz safely. They sail close to the Iranian coastline. They also follow a route approved by Iranian authorities for authorised vessels.

BW Tyr and BW Elm Begin Journey

Meanwhile, BW Tyr and BW Elm start their transit through the Strait on Saturday. Officials say BW Tyr will reach Mumbai on March 31 at around 8 pm. On the other hand, BW Elm is heading to New Mangalore. It is likely to arrive on April 1 at 12 noon.

Cargo and Crew Details

BW Elm carries 23,860 tonnes of propane and 23,139 tonnes of butane. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited will receive this cargo. The ship has 28 crew members, all Indians. Similarly, BW Tyr carries 23,653 tonnes of propane and 22,926 tonnes of butane for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. It has 27 Indian crew members on board.

More Ships Wait for Clearance

At the same time, three more India-flagged LPG vessels — Jag Vikram, Green Asha, and Green Sanvi remain anchored near Mina Saqr. They are waiting for instructions from the Indian Navy. Only then will they begin their transit through the northern part of the Strait of Hormuz.

Transit Remains Crucial for Energy Supply

Overall, these movements remain critical for India’s energy security. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important routes for oil and gas shipments. Therefore, the safe passage of these vessels highlights strong coordination between India and Iran. It also ensures continuity in energy supplies despite rising tensions in the region.
