Indian LNG carrier Disha crosses Hormuz

New Delhi: A liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, chartered by an Indian firm, safely transited through the Strait of Hormuz-the first Indian LNG tanker to cross the war-hit narrow shipping lane since the war in West Asia broke out more than three and a half months back. LNG Carrier Disha, managed by a Shipping Corporation of India-led consortium and chartered by Petronet LNG, is also one of the first commercial vessels to transit the Strait since the announcement of a preliminary deal between the US and Iran.
