The LPG tanker Jag Vikram has crossed the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first India-flagged vessel to do so since the announcement of a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran. This transit is significant as it reflects a cautious resumption of maritime activities in a critical global shipping route. Owned by Great Eastern Shipping Company based in Mumbai, Jag Vikram has a capacity to carry around 20,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The tanker was among several Indian vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf due to heightened tensions in the region. With the ceasefire in place, there are hopes for improved maritime traffic, although movements remain constrained. India has been actively engaging with Iran to ensure safe passage for its ships, amidst concerns that Iran may impose tolls on vessels crossing the strait. Indian officials have denied any discussions regarding such tolls, emphasizing the need for free navigation as per international law. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for India's energy supplies, with a significant portion of its oil and gas imports transiting through this narrow waterway.
