India-Bound Gas Ships Increase Transit Through Strait of Hormuz
(MENAFN) A rise in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipments heading to India has been recorded through the Strait of Hormuz, as vessel-tracking data indicates increased maritime traffic through the strategic waterway despite ongoing restrictions linked to US and Iranian tensions, according to reports.
Two LPG carriers, identified as the Symi and NV Sunshine, were among the latest vessels to pass through the strait after loading cargo in the Gulf.
As stated by reports, the Symi reappeared in the Gulf of Oman after disabling its tracking signal, while the NV Sunshine also stopped transmitting shortly after entering waters beyond the strait. Both ships were reportedly carrying fuel products destined for India.
The NV Sunshine loaded LPG at the UAE’s Ruwais refinery and was last tracked east of Iran’s Larak Island, with its destination listed as Mangalore. The Symi carried fuel from Qatar’s Ras Laffan terminal to Kandla in western India.
According to reports, these movements bring the total number of large vessels transiting the strait since the beginning of the week to nine, including oil tankers, gas carriers, and LNG shipments, reflecting a modest increase in maritime activity.
Some vessels are reportedly operating without active tracking signals, while others continue to navigate under heightened security conditions amid regional instability.
The developments come against the backdrop of broader tensions in the region, where maritime routes through Hormuz remain sensitive due to geopolitical disputes and restrictions affecting shipping operations.
