2 tankers carrying Iranian crude reached India

New Delhi: Two tankers carrying Iranian crude oil have reached Indian ports, the first such deliveries since May 2019. Felicity, a much larger crude carrier carrying about two million barrels of oil, was anchored near Sikka off the coast of Gujarat late Sunday, according to ship-tracking data from Kepler. Another tanker, Jaya, also carrying the same quantity of crude oil, grounded near Paradip off the Odisha coast at around the same time. Both Felicity and Jaya were loaded at Kharg Island, Iran’s largest port, which handles about 90% of the country’s oil exports. While Felicity picked up cargo in mid-March, Jaya was loaded in late February, before military tensions between the US-Israel coalition and Iran escalated. However, the Shipping Ministry said it had no information about the two ships.
