An Indian-flagged LPG carrier, Shivalik, reached Mundra Port in Gujarat on March 16, 2026, after sailing through the Strait of Hormuz during a period of high tension in West Asia.
The ship was carrying about 46,000 metric tonnes of LPG, an important fuel for India. Its safe arrival comes at a time when shipping in the region remains uncertain.
The vessel crossed the Strait late on March 15 or early March 16 and docked later the same day. Port authorities had already completed paperwork and gave the ship priority berthing so unloading could begin quickly.
Officials said the vessel was tracked closely during its journey and confirmed that Indian seafarers in the region are safe, with no incidents reported in the last 24 hours.
Out of the total cargo, around 20,000 metric tonnes will be unloaded at Mundra, while the remaining 26,000 metric tonnes will be sent to Mangaluru.
