First oil tanker to India crosses Strait of Hormuz, arrives at Mumbai port

Maritime tracking data from Lloyd’s List Intelligence and TankerTrackers showed the ship’s last transmitted location inside the Strait of Hormuz on March 8.

Earlier, two Indian-flagged ships are said to have been allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz amid Iran-US war, even as most vessels remain stranded over fears being caught in the crossfire that started on February 28.

Sources said the Indian ships began transiting safely through the Strait between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. An official statement on the matter is awaited.
