Svmuu News Two tankers carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar appear to have abandoned their attempt to exit the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz. According to ship tracking data, the "Al Daayen" and "Rasheeda" loaded LNG from Qatar's export facility at the end of February and initially headed east towards waters near Oman in an attempt to enter the strait, but subsequently turned around. Since the US-Israel strikes on Iran at the end of February, no LNG-carrying tankers have transited the Strait of Hormuz. Based on Kpler's vessel data, Qatar has delivered two shipments of LNG to Kuwait over the past few weeks. These supplies were likely loaded from Qatar's storage tanks, thus avoiding the need to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Ship tracking around the Persian Gulf is subject to uncertainty, as vessels navigating in high-risk areas may experience electronic interference or voluntarily turn off their transponders. (Jin10)
