  • First Post-Peace LNG Tanker Docks in India
The Malta-flagged LNG tanker Disha became the first vessel to cross the Strait of Hormuz and dock at a port since the US-Iran peace agreement was signed on June 18, arriving at the Dahej LNG terminal in Gujarat, India. This is a symbolic milestone marking the first fully unimpeded commercial LNG transit since the Strait closed in late February. Wood Mackenzie consultancy expects the reopening to unlock a wave of LNG shipments within days, though full normalization of flows through the waterway, which carried 20% of global LNG before the war, will take weeks given mine-clearing operations, tanker insurance reinstatement, and port backlogs.
