Iranian oil returns to India after 7 years as supertankers dock at key ports
Amid the concerns around the global oil and LPG crisis, two supertankers carrying Iranian crude have arrived at Indian ports on both the east and west coasts. This marked the first such deliveries in nearly seven years, according to ship-tracking data. Felicity, a very large crude carrier operated by the National Iranian Tanker Company, anchored off Sikka on Gujarat`s coast late Sunday, carrying about 2 million barrels loaded at Kharg Island in mid-March, as per PTI. However, the buyers of the cargoes reaching Indian coasts have not been formally disclosed. A second tanker named Jaya was moored near Paradip on Odisha`s coast around the same time. As per the reports, the tanker is transporting a similar volume of crude, lifted from Kharg Island in late February, before the US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran, followed by Tehran`s retaliation. Furthermore, the shipments are the first Iranian crude cargoes to reach Indian shores in nearly seven years, following a sanctions waiver issued by the United States last month.
