The LPG tanker Shivalik reached Mundra Port on Monday. The vessel delivered 45,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This arrival comes at a time when fuel supply concerns have increased due to tensions in West Asia.
Additional Crude Oil Shipment Expected
Rajesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Shipping, shared an update. He said that the tanker Jag Ladki is on its way to India. The vessel is carrying 80,000 metric tonnes of crude oil. It is expected to arrive on Tuesday.
Status of Indian Vessels in the Region
Sinha also provided details about Indian vessels near the Persian Gulf.
- 22 Indian ships are currently located west of the Gulf
