Indian Crude Tanker ‘Jag Laadki’ Docks at Mundra Port with 80,000+ MT Crude Oil

Gujarat, March 18, 2026: The Indian-flagged crude oil tanker Jag Laadki has successfully docked at Mundra Port, Gujarat, carrying over 80,000 metric tonnes of crude oil. The shipment, loaded from Fujairah Port, UAE, marks a significant step in securing India’s energy imports amid ongoing global supply uncertainties.

The vessel navigated the Strait of Hormuz and the Indian Ocean under heightened maritime safety measures, reflecting India’s focus on protecting critical fuel shipments in volatile geopolitical conditions.

Jag Laadki is a large crude carrier, approximately 274 metres long with a beam of 50 metres, capable of transporting massive crude volumes efficiently. The tanker’s arrival ensures timely delivery to Indian refineries, maintaining domestic fuel supply stability at a time of fluctuating global crude prices.

Energy officials note that consignments like this play a crucial role in India’s energy security, supporting refinery operations and industrial requirements. The cargo is now being offloaded and directed to strategic storage and refining facilities across the country.

The docking of Jag Laadki also highlights India’s growing resilience in managing energy imports and navigating sensitive maritime routes, emphasizing the strategic importance of ports like Mundra in maintaining uninterrupted crude supply chains.

With global oil markets under pressure from regional tensions and trade route disruptions, the safe arrival of Indian-flagged tankers strengthens both energy security and supply chain reliability for the country.
