Indian Navy Extends Escort to LPG Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz
TL;DR
Indian Navy ships Shivalik and Nanda Devi escorted two Indian LPG tankers across the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman toward Indian ports, carrying about 92,700 metric tonnes of LPG; a third tanker, Jag Laadki, was later tracked under escort, with other Indian vessels on standby amid regional tensions. The move follows talks between Prime Minister Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and is linked to India’s safety-focused push to secure sea lanes under Operation Sankalp.
