LNG tanker exits Hormuz for India; 33 ships cross in 24 hrs
Hindustan Times Delhi
|May 25, 2026
A liquefied natural gas tanker carrying a shipment for India has exited the Strait of Hormuz, the first for the country from the Persian Gulf since the Iran war began months ago as the region’s exporters discreetly supply key buyers, Bloomberg reported.
-
Adnoc Logistics and Services's Al Hamra tanker was spotted in the last day, loaded with a cargo and heading to western India, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
The vessel stopped sending a signal around April 19 — but at that time it was empty and idling near the eastern entrance of Hormuz.
The tanker loaded a cargo at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s Das Island export plant, which is in the Persian Gulf behind Hormuz, during the period it wasn't sending a signal, according to Kpler. Satellite images show that LNG tankers have been docking at Das Island, even though no tankers are broadcasting their positions near the plant.
Adnoc has exported two other shipments from the Persian Gulf on tankers that went dark when traversing the waterway — one to Japan and the other to China.
