Two India-flagged Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) LPG tankers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz today and are headed towards India. The names of the ships are Shivalik and Nanda Devi. Sources said it was a very careful operation with the cooperation of Iran and all other countries in that area. The passage of these two ships comes after a series of conversations between the Indian and the Iranian leaderships over the last few days. The tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz, where hundreds of ships – including 28 India-flagged – had been stranded since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, and Tehran targeted the region in retaliation, a day after another vessel sailing to India crossed the strategic narrow sea lane between Iran and Oman.
