OREANDA-NEWS  The crew of the Indian tanker Pine Gas managed to get the ship out of the Strait of Hormuz, despite massive missile attacks from Iran. This was stated by the senior assistant captain Sohan Lal, quoted by Reuters.

The ship's crew loaded a shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on board a day before the start of a joint military operation between the United States and Israel. Initially, the crew planned to leave the Strait of Hormuz a week after that, but the war in Iran disrupted the plans.

As a result, it took almost three weeks before the ship safely left the dangerous logistical artery. During this period, Lal explained, all 27 members of the team observed many missiles fired by Iran in the sky every day. Drones were also circling the ship. One night, five shells flew over the side at once.
