Indian-flagged LPG tanker Green Asha has successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened regional tensions, becoming the eighth Indian vessel to transit the strategic waterway since the West Asia conflict escalated. The tanker, carrying approximately 15,400–20,000 tonnes of LPG, navigated through Iranian waters under diplomatic coordination and naval monitoring.
According to vessel‑tracking data and official sources, Green Asha’s passage marks another uninterrupted energy shipment to India at a time when multiple international carriers have reported delays and disruptions in the region. The Indian Navy has been closely overseeing the movement of LPG carriers as part of ongoing energy‑security measures.
The transit comes as several ships remain stranded due to security restrictions and heightened military activity around the Strait, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas flows. Despite the volatile environment, no incidents involving Indian‑flagged vessels were reported in the past 24 hours.
Green Asha’s safe passage reinforces India’s efforts to maintain stable LPG supplies amid geopolitical uncertainty. The tanker is expected to continue its onward journey toward Indian ports as part of the country’s broader strategy to secure essential energy imports.
