Indian LPG carrier crosses Strait of Hormuz: marine traffic website

The Indian-flagged LPG carrier Shivalik crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, March 13, 2026, after being stranded upstream since February 28. The ship's cargo could amount to nearly one day's worth of India's LPG imports. The Shipping Corporation of India, which owns the Shivalik, has confirmed its passage. While other Indian-flagged vessels remain stranded in the region, the Shivalik is among the few that have successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz. The government continues to advise caution and responsible communication regarding maritime incidents in the Gulf region.
