India-Flagged Vessel Green Asha Reaches JNPA With 15,400 Tonne LPG

Green Asha, an India-flagged liquefied petroleum gas vessel carrying 15,400 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) (15,400 t), has crossed the Strait of Hormuz and moored at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) liquid berth in Navi Mumbai, the port said. The berth is operated by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (BPCL-IOCL). The arrival took place amid heightened geopolitical tensions in West Asia and underscores efforts to maintain steady supplies.

JNPA said that the vessel, its cargo and every member of the crew were safe and secure and framed the docking as evidence of maritime operations functioning despite complex conditions. The port noted that Green Asha is the ninth Indian-flagged LPG vessel to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the conflict escalated. It added that earlier ships such as Green Sanvi, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas had crossed during the same period.

Green Asha is the first of those vessels to berth at JNPA since the outbreak of hostilities, while other Indian-flagged LPG carriers were reported to have proceeded to ports including Kandla, Hazira and Kochi or remained at sea. The port said that the docking highlights logistical resilience and the supply chain measures in place to route critical energy shipments to destination terminals. Officials emphasised ongoing monitoring of maritime movements and port operations.

Neeraj Mittal, Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said that the country’s LPG supply situation remained stable despite the tensions and that ships had been arriving with their normal travel times and no reported delay in crossing the strait; he said the government was reviewing the situation daily and stood ready to take necessary action. The arrival of Green Asha therefore formed part of broader assurances by authorities about continuity of fuel supplies. Observers noted that the Strait of Hormuz remains a key shipping route for oil and gas and that vigilance continues.
