Shivalik has successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz 

Friend according to the media reports, The Indian-flagged LPG vessel Shivalik has successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz as of March 13, 2026, carrying 40,000 metric tons of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). 

The vessels safe passage was facilitated by: 

Diplomatic Clearance: Iran granted safe passage to Indian vessels following discussions between Indias External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Iranian officials.

Military Escort: The Indian Navy actively guided and escorted the tanker through the strategic waterway amid regional tensions.

Operational Context: Owned by the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), the Shivalik is a Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) recently inducted to enhance India's energy security and self-reliance in fuel logistics.

This transit is critical as the Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime choke point for Indias energy imports, and the Shivalik's successful crossing ensures the continued supply of LPG and fuel stocks to regions like Kashmir.source google, media reports.
