Soon after the tensions in the Middle East started to ease, an India-flagged merchant ship, Green Asha, which crossed the Strait of Hormuz on April 5, safely reached Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. The ship contains a cargo of 15,400 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), according to an official statement. 

As reported by the news agency IANS, the arrival of the tanker has come at a crucial time to augment cooking gas supplies in the country amid the West Asia crisis. As per the official statement, the vessel has moored at JNPA's liquid berth operated by Bharat Petroleum and Indian Oil. Moreover, another India-flagged LPG vessel, the Green Sanvi, had also crossed the Strait on April 6 and is expected to reach India soon.
