The Indian Navy has safely escorted two more Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz in the last two days. Marshall Islands flagged LPG ship ‘SYMI’ has crossed the Strait of Hormuz on May 13 and is expected to reach Kandla Port in Gujarat by May 16. This ship is loaded with 19,965 metric tons of LPG.
At the same time, the second Vietnam-flagged LPG ship ‘Sunshine’ has crossed the Strait of Hormuz on May 14 and is likely to reach India’s New Mangaluru Port by May 18. 46,487 metric tons of LPG is being brought to India in this ship.
According to Mukesh Mangal, an official of the Ministry of Ports and Shipping, ‘So far, a total of 13 ships carrying oil and gas have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, which includes 12 LPG ships and one crude oil ship. Both the LPG ships crossing the strait in the last two days are of foreign flag, but their cargo is bound for India.
What did the officials say about the attack on the Indian ship?
Regarding the attack on the Indian ship ‘Haji Ali’, Mukesh Mangal said that the attack on the ship took place in the maritime zone of Oman. The crew members present on the ship have been safely evacuated to safe places and will be brought back to India soon.
This cargo ship from Gujarat sank in the sea on Wednesday after a suspected drone attack near the Oman coast. There were 14 Indian crew members on board who were rescued by the administration of Oman. This ship, registered at Salaya Port in Devbhoomi Dwarka district, was going from Somalia to Sharjah and animals were loaded in it.
Indian Navy is providing security to its ships after the war started
Earlier, 11 other ships have also crossed the Strait of Hormuz, which were safely escorted by the Indian Navy to different Indian ports. The Indian Navy is not only helping these ships cross the strait, but is also in constant touch with them since the start of the war. The Navy is providing all assistance to keep Indian flagged ships safe and to transit the strait through new safe sea routes.
After the start of the war, the Indian Navy has also deployed additional task forces to protect Indian ships in the Persian Gulf. Although the Indian Navy is not directly entering the Persian Gulf, it is providing navigation and communication support to Indian ships to keep them safe and cross the Strait of Hormuz.
As soon as these ships cross the Persian Gulf, Indian Navy warships take over the responsibility of protecting them from the Gulf of Oman to Indian ports via the North Arabian Sea. The Prime Minister, Defense Minister, CDS and Navy Chief are continuously monitoring these activities, where the Navy is escorting these ships.
