我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以总结文章信息。印度在七年内首次接收伊朗石油货物,这得益于美国的临时豁免。两艘非常大型原油运输船,伊朗旗帜的 Felicity 和库拉索旗帜的 Jaya,已抵达印度港口。该豁免将于 4 月 19 日到期,允许印度炼油商,包括印度石油公司和 Reliance Industries,尽管受到美国制裁,仍可以购买伊朗石油。这标志着一个重要的转变,因为自 2019 年 5 月以来,印度因美国施压未曾进口伊朗原油
Two very large crude carriers loaded with Iranian oil have reached Indian ports, ship tracking data from LSEG shows, as local refiners utilise a temporary waiver granted by the United States last month to resume purchases from Tehran for the first time in seven years.
The current waiver is due to expire on April 19.
The Iran-flagged Felicity has reached Sikka Port in western India, while the Curacao-flagged Jaya is at the eastern port of Odisha, the data shows.
A VLCC carries 2 million barrels of oil.
India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, has not received a cargo from Iran since May 2019 after coming under U.S. pressure not to buy the country's crude.
Indian Oil Corp, the country's top refiner, has bought Iranian oil loaded on the Jaya, a vessel under U.S. sanctions, Reuters reported last week.
India has also allowed Reliance Industries Ltd, the operator of the world's biggest refining complex, to buy Iranian oil loaded on the Comoros-flagged aframax Kaviz, Curacao-flagged VLCC Lenore and Iran-flagged VLCCs Felicity and Hedy, all of which are more than 20 years old and are also under U.S. sanctions.
