  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nAn Indian-flagged tanker carrying LPG has safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz, India's government said on Saturday.\n\nFollowing US-Israel military strikes, Iran has effectively halted maritime traffic in the key waterway which is a critical route for global crude oil and gas.\n\nBut New Delhi, which is the world's second-largest buyer of liquefied petroleum gas, has managed to secure passage for several Indian-flagged vessels over the last three weeks.\n\nOn Saturday, the shipping ministry confirmed that LPG carrier Green Sanvi had transited through the chokepoint.\n\n\"Green Sanvi has safely transited the Strait of Hormuz, carrying 46,650 MT of LPG cargo with 25 seafarers on board\", a statement said, without giving further details on its final destination.\n\nIt added that 17 Indian-flagged vessels, with 460 Indian seafarers, \"remain in the western Persian Gulf region\".\n\nData from ship tracking company Marine Traffic's website confirmed that the Green Sanvi was an Indian-flagged tanker.\n\nPublic broadcaster All India Radio said it was the \"seventh India-bound LPG tanker\" to cross the Strait of Hormuz since the Middle East war began.\n\nIndia imports about 60 percent of its LPG needs and has been grappling with a gas crunch over the last month.\n\nThe Indian government has imposed tighter controls over natural and cooking gas following import disruptions -- prioritizing supply towards households and limiting the amount available for industrial use.\n\nNew Delhi maintains strong relations with Tehran but has steadily expanded cooperation with Israel in defense, agriculture, technology and cybersecurity.",
