An Indian-flagged oil tanker, Jag Laadki, carrying crude oil from the United Arab Emirates has reached Mundra port in Gujarat, days after an attack disrupted operations at Fujairah’s oil terminal.
The vessel arrived on Wednesday with around 80,800 metric tonnes of Murban crude oil. It departed Fujairah port on Sunday morning, shortly after the terminal faced an attack on March 14.
Government officials said the tanker was loading crude at Fujairah’s Single Point Mooring when the incident occurred.
“On March 14, 2026, while the Indian-flag vessel Jag Laadki was loading crude oil at the Fujairah Single Point Mooring, the Fujairah oil terminal was attacked. The vessel sailed safely from Fujairah at 1030 hrs IST today (Sunday) carrying about 80,800 tonnes of Murban crude oil and is bound for India,” the government said.
Despite the disruption, the tanker completed its voyage without damage. It is the third Indian-flagged vessel to return from the region without incident amid ongoing tensions in West Asia.
Earlier this week, two Indian-flagged LPG carriers — MT Shivalik and MT Nanda Devi — reached India after crossing the Strait of Hormuz. The vessels were carrying about 92,712 metric tonnes of LPG and completed their transit on March 16 and 17.
According to government briefings, India continues to maintain a naval presence in the region under Operation Sankalp to secure shipping routes and ensure safe passage for commercial vessels.
The Directorate General of Shipping said it is monitoring the situation in coordination with ship owners, Recruitment and Placement Service License agencies, and Indian missions in the region. The Union Shipping Minister is also tracking developments.
Authorities said the government is working with ports, shipping lines and logistics stakeholders to limit disruptions to maritime trade. Ports have been advised to provide relief measures where needed, including concessions on anchorage, berth hire and storage charges.
