The Maltese-flagged liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier Disha arrived at Dahej Port during the morning hours of Friday, safely anchoring at the Petronet LNG jetty after three months of blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Bharuch Port Authority. The vessel’s arrival marks a significant milestone as it successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz carrying a cargo of 62,370 metric tonnes of LNG amid the evolving situation in West Asia. Significantly, no other Indian-flagged vessel exited the Persian Gulf after the Malta-flagged LNG carrier Disha crossed the Strait of Hormuz on June 15 and proceeded towards India. However, no other Indian-flag vessel has moved out after Disha. Source: Moneycontrol 2026-06-19 hellenicshippingnews... tweet Share
