India has maintained steady maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz despite ongoing tensions in the region, with at least eight Indian-linked vessels transiting the critical chokepoint since February 28.
The vessels include Shivalik, Nanda Devi, Jag Laadki, Pine Gas, Jag Vasant, BW Tyr, BW Elm and Green Sanvi, helping energy security in India and keeping supplies coming for the common man.
The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and Oman, is one of the world's most vital oil transit corridors, through which 20 per cent share of global crude shipments passes.
Iran has, amid the war, listed India among friendly nations whose ships it is allowing to cross through the vital strait while keeping others halted with threats of drone-missile attack.
Iran told India: 'You are in safe hands'
India-flagged large gas carrier Green Sanvi is the latest ship which has safely transited the Hormuz on Friday night, carrying around 46,650 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), official sources said.
Meanwhile, Additional secretary in the ministry of ports, shipping and waterways, Mukesh Mangal said all Indian vessels and crew in the Persian Gulf are being closely monitored, adding that all seafarers in the region are safe.
