Indian LPG carrier Green Sanvi clears Strait of Hormuz, 2 more ships to follow
Green Sanvi is the seventh India-flagged merchant vessel to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the onset of the West Asia War
An Indian-flagged LPG carrier, Green Sanvi, has transited the Strait of Hormuz, with two more vessels—Green Asha and Jag Vikram—expected to follow in the coming days, reflecting continued movement of Indian energy shipments despite regional tensions.
Carrying about 44,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas, Green Sanvi has been tracked near the Gulf of Oman, according to shipping data. Its passage comes at a time when tight global supplies and geopolitical uncertainties are influencing energy flows to India.
Since the onset of the conflict on February 28, six Indian-flagged fuel carriers—including MT Shivalik, MT Nanda Devi, Pine Gas, Jag Vasant, BW Tyr, and BW Elm—have successfully crossed the Strait en route to India.
Officials said the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways is closely monitoring developments in the region and has implemented measures to ensure the safety of Indian vessels and seafarers while maintaining uninterrupted maritime trade.
“All Indian seafarers in the region are safe, and no incident involving Indian-flagged vessels has been reported in the past 24 hours,” the Ministry stated.
Currently, 17 Indian-flagged vessels with 485 Indian seafarers remain in the western Persian Gulf region, following Green Sanvi’s transit.
The Directorate General of Shipping, working alongside ship owners, RPSL agencies, and Indian missions, continues to track the situation. Its control room operates round-the-clock and has handled 4,984 calls and 10,296 emails since activation, including 99 calls and 362 emails in the past 24 hours.
Authorities have also facilitated the safe return of more than 1,130 Indian seafarers so far, including 155 in the last 24 hours from various Gulf locations.
