Two more LPG tankers set to cross Strait of Hormuz

New Delhi: Two more Indian-flagged LPG tankers have started their journey from the Persian Gulf and are expected to cross the war-hit Strait of Hormuz before heading to Indian ports, ship tracking data showed.

LPG tankers Pine Gas and Jag Vasant, sailing close to each other, on Monday afternoon, were near the waters between Iran’s Larak and Qeshm islands -- possibly to make their identity clear to Iranian authorities before they cross the Strait. The two ships were among the 22 vessels that were stranded in the Persian Gulf.
