2 LPG ships from UAE, 1 oil tanker from Saudi headed for India to fill supply gap
Two LPG carriers from the UAE and one crude oil carrier from Saudi Arabia are headed towards Indian ports to fill the energy supplies gap even as Navy Chief Dinesh Tripathi has cancelled his official trip to Australia and New Zealand due to the Iran-US war and the ensuing shipping crisis in the Persian Gulf, people familiar with the matter said.
Indian-flagged MV Jag Vasant followed by MV Pine Gas, sailing at a distance of five nautical miles apart, left their anchorage at UAE ports at 6 am IST on Monday for India after Iran gave clearance for the two LPG vessels to cross the highly sensitive strait.
