A laden Qatari LNG tanker has transited the Strait of Hormuz using the Iranian-designated corridor, the first such carrier to do so since July 11, according to maritime tracking reports. The vessel is en route to Pakistan.
New details emerge on the Qatari LNG tanker that crossed the Strait of Hormuz earlier today. According to shipping tracking data, the vessel used the Iranian-designated corridor and is sailing toward Pakistan. The transit marks the first LNG carrier to pass through the strategic waterway since July 11, signaling a gradual resumption of Qatari gas exports after weeks of disruption. The Zioneer reported earlier today that a Qatar-controlled LNG tanker had exited the strait; the new reports provide additional specifics on its route and destination. The Hormuz shipping channel has been under effective Iranian control since the IRGC reasserted supervision over maritime traffic earlier this month, following a period of blockade and attacks.
