New Delhi, March 14 Two vessels registered in India, carrying LPG from Gulf countries, safely crossed the war-affected Strait of Hormuz early on Saturday morning, a senior official from the Shipping Ministry said.
The LPG carriers, Shivalik and Nanda Devi, are now heading towards the Mundra and Kandla ports in Gujarat, Rajesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Shipping, told a media briefing.
He said the vessels are carrying 92,700 tonnes of LPG and are likely to arrive at Indian ports on March 16/17.
The two vessels were among the 24 ships that were stranded on the west side of the strait since the conflict broke out in the region.
