The LPG carrier MT Sarv Shakti, carrying 46,313 tonnes of cooking gas, has safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz and is expected to reach Visakhapatnam on May 13, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said on Sunday, reported IANS.

Key milestone amid disruption in global shipping routes

The vessel’s safe passage is being seen as a significant development, as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had sharply declined following recent geopolitical tensions and restrictions targeting vessels linked to Iran. The route is one of the world’s most critical energy corridors, and disruptions have raised concerns about global fuel supply chains, reported IANS.
