Two LPG carriers, Symi and NV Sunshine, transit the Strait of Hormuz and head to India, bringing the number of India-bound vessels to 13 since regional tensions escalated. The vessels carry energy products including cooking gas (liquefied petroleum gas) and are described as part of ongoing shipments from the Persian Gulf amid an energy supply focus. Bloomberg reports that the carriers appear to have completed the crossing despite continued restrictions involving the United States and Iran. Business Standard adds that Symi emerged in the Gulf of Oman after turning off its transponder, while NV Sunshine went dark shortly after passing through the strait. Times of India reports that Symi, a nearly 20,000-tonne Marshall Islands-flagged ship, subsequently arrives in Gujarat after crossing, docking at Kandla. News18 similarly says the ships cross safely, while also referencing an MEA condemnation of an attack on an Indian-flagged ship off Oman. Across the coverage, the transits are presented as continuing despite security concerns in the wider region.
