Indian LNG Carrier ‘Disha’ Safely Clears Hormuz, Bound for Dahej

The Malta-flagged tanker, managed by a Shipping Corporation of India-led consortium and chartered by Petronet LNG, is carrying about 62,370 metric tonnes of LNG and is expected to arrive at Dahej, Gujarat, on 18 June.

An official from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said the safe passage of Disha signals a gradual resumption of commercial traffic through the chokepoint following recent diplomatic developments in the region. The ministry added that the Directorate General of Shipping is in continuous coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs, Indian missions abroad, shipping companies and other stakeholders to safeguard Indian seafarers and support vessel movements in the Gulf.      Authorities noted that a dedicated control room set up to monitor the West Asia situation has handled thousands of calls and emails in the past four days, reflecting the scale of concern among stakeholders. So far, the ministry and DG Shipping have facilitated the safe repatriation of more than 3,587 Indian seafarers, including 50 in the last 96 hours, while confirming that port operations across India remain normal with no congestion reported.
