Crude oil tanker Jag Laadki arrives at Mundra Port after missile attack scare

The Indian-flagged tanker Jag Laadki arrived at Mundra Port in Gujarat on Wednesday, carrying a major crude oil consignment amid ongoing tensions in West Asia

The vessel transported around 80,886 metric tonnes of crude oil, highlighting continued energy inflow despite disruptions in key global supply routes

Officials stated that the crude was sourced from the United Arab Emirates and loaded at Fujairah Port, which has faced drone and missile attacks during the ongoing conflict

The tanker, measuring over 274 metres in length with significant carrying capacity, underscores the scale of maritime logistics supporting India’s energy needs

A day earlier, LPG carrier Nanda Devi reached Vadinar port in Gujarat’s Devbhumi Dwarka district, delivering 46,500 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas via the Strait of Hormuz

Another LPG vessel, Shivalik, had docked at Mundra Port earlier in the week, indicating sustained efforts to maintain supply chains amid uncertainty

Port authorities ensured safe berthing and coordinated maritime operations, reinforcing Mundra Port’s role in handling critical energy imports during supply disruptions

With tensions affecting the Strait of Hormuz and altering supply dynamics, India continues to rely on diversified sourcing strategies to secure crude, gas, and LPG supplies
