GANDHIDHAM : Anchoring India’s energy lifelines with strength and precision. LPG Vessel MV Jag Vikram successfully berthed at Oil Jetty–1, Deendayal Port Authority Kandla, Kutch carrying 20,400 MT of LPG – ensuring uninterrupted energy supply for the nation.

Indian-flagged vessel ‘Jag Vikram’ carrying 20,400 metric tonnes (MT) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has arrived at DPA, Kandla in Gujarat amid the tensions in West Asia, officials said on Wednesday.

The ship crossed the Strait of Hormuz following the temporary two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran said a statement from the Deendayal Port Authority.

It was the ninth Indian vessel to exit the Persian Gulf since early March, while about 15 other Indian-flagged ships remain in the region, awaiting passage, government officials had said earlier.

The tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on April 11, marking the first such transit by an Indian vessel since the two-week ceasefire was announced.
