Three big crude tankers will cross the Strait of Hormuz and reach Mundra Port.

New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing tension in West Asia and dangerous challenges near the sensitive Strait of Hormuz, there is big news regarding the country’s energy supply. Three huge crude tankers are going to reach India after crossing the Strait of Hormuz. According to the information, three ships including ‘Humble Warrior’ have left for Mundra. All three ships will reach Mundra Port by 28th or 29th March.

When will all three ships reach India?

According to the information, Humble Warrior Ship is expected to reach Mundra by March 28, while MT Odessa is expected to reach by March 29 and MT Fossil by March 29. The port rotation for ‘Jag Vasant’ and ‘Pine Gas’, which is bringing LPG to the country, is yet to be announced. Their situation is expected to become clear by 12.00 noon tomorrow, March 26. Only after this it will be decided at which specific port of India these ships laden with LPG will unload their consignment on 27 and 28 March. Both these ships have also crossed the Strait of Hormuz safely.

Both are walking close to each other. The gas loaded on these ships is almost equivalent to one day’s cooking gas consumption in the country. A ship usually takes two to two and a half days to reach India from the Gulf.

Let us tell you that due to the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz has been declared a very dangerous and sensitive area these days. Ships passing through this area have been attacked by missiles and drones. In such a situation, passing through this area is not free from danger. The Shipping Ministry and the Port Authority are keeping a close watch on the movement of these ships so that there is no hindrance in security and supply.

In the last few days, two ships each from both sides have been successful in reaching Hormuz safely. The ship Shivalik carrying LPG reached Mudra port in Gujarat on 16 March. Another LPG tanker Nanda Devi reached Kandla port in Gujarat the next day. Both the LPG carrier ships began their voyage on 13 March and transited the Strait of Hormuz on the morning of 14 March.
