Two vessels carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from the Persian Gulf have successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz, with the liquefied petroleum gas carrier Symi emerging in the Gulf of Oman after temporarily turning off its transponder. The other vessel, NV Sunshine, went dark just after crossing the strait. Symi is transporting fuel from Ras Laffan port in Qatar to Kandla, Gujarat, India, while NV Sunshine is heading to Mangalore, Karnataka, India from the Ruwais refinery in the UAE. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned an attack on an Indian-flagged vessel off the coast of Oman, stating that such attacks on commercial shipping are unacceptable. Fortunately, all crew members were rescued and are safe. Maritime data indicates that the number of vessels crossing the strait has dropped significantly since the war began, with only 18 vessels passing through from April 19 to 22, averaging 4.5 per day, compared to 9 daily crossings before. In peacetime, around 120 daily transits are typical.
