Two more Indian-flagged LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday evening, the ministry of ports, shipping and waterways said. ADVERTISEMENTEarlier, marine traffic tracking websites had reported the two tankers had started moving out of the Strait using the "safe" corridor Iran has created between the Larak and Qeshm islands. Four more Indian-flagged LPG tankers, now west of Hormuz, are waiting for safe passage. The remaining shipping vessels in the area include a liquefied natural gas(LNG) tanker and four crude oil tankers. Iran is said to have established a safe shipping corridor under the watchful eye of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
