Kuwait Ships LPG to India via 2 Tankers Through Hormuz

Summary
Gas Umm Al Rowaisat, controlled by Kuwait Petroleum Corp.’s shipping arm, carried an LPG cargo out of the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz before transferring it to another tanker bound for Paradip, India.
The shipment used increasingly clandestine methods to keep energy moving to market: the receiving vessel went dark after loading last month and only reappeared near India on Sunday, according to traders, Kpler and ship-tracking data.
Kuwait’s move shows Gulf producers are still finding ways to route fuel through Hormuz despite the sensitivity of the chokepoint, with ship-to-ship transfers and signal gaps helping obscure cargo movements.
