Vessel Carrying Saudi Crude Reaches India; First Tanker to Arrive From Strait of Hormuz Since Iran War

The Liberian tanker delivered 135,335 metric tonnes of Saudi crude to Mumbai, marking the first India-bound shipment through the Strait of Hormuz since US-Iran hostilities began.

  • The Liberia-flagged tanker Shenlong arrived in Mumbai on March 11 after loading Saudi crude at Ras Tanura earlier this month, marking the first India-bound vessel since hostilities began.
  • Maritime trackers showed the vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on March 8 before its AIS transponder reportedly switched off and it reappeared March 9.
  • The ship is owned and managed by Shenlong Shipping Ltd and Dynacom Tanker Management Ltd, Athens, with 29 crew members under Captain Sukshant Singh Sandhu docked at 1:00 pm and berthed at 6:06 pm.
  • India's Shipping Ministry coordinated the operation via a 24-hour control room, while Atlantic Global Shipping's Jitendra Jadhav handled Shenlong's arrival, easing immediate fuel shortages and parliamentary pressure.
  • More than 20 million barrels move daily through the Strait of Hormuz, and 28 Indian-flagged vessels operate there, with 24 west of the Strait carrying 677 Indian seafarers.
