First Indian LNG carrier transits Strait of Hormuz after US-Iran peace deal
First Indian LNG carrier transits Strait of Hormuz after US-Iran peace deal
Indian liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker Disha crossed theStrait of Hormuzon Monday amid the announcement that the US and Iran have reached a peace deal. Disha, which is operated and managed by state-owned Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), is the first Indian merchant vessel to cross the fraught waters of the Strait of Hormuz in nearly two months. It is carrying Qatari LNG for India.
According to ship tracking data and industry watchers, it is also the first vessel to cross the strait since the announcement of the peace pact, which is expected to be inked later this week. Shipping sector insiders say that the shippers are watching the developments with caution, and traffic through the strait has not really picked up in spite of the announcement that a US-Iran deal has been worked out. Experts said that it could take weeks for traffic through the strait to meaningfully pick up. That too, if they feel assured that the peace deal will hold, given the experience of the past three months.
Carrying LNG for India’s largest LNG importer Petronet LNG, the Malta-flagged Disha had been stranded in the Persian G…
